The IWCD Website & Domain Has Moved!

 Dear IWCD Supporters,

We're excited to announce we have an active IWCD petition before the House of Commons pending a response.  

Additionally, three regional cities, the City of Vancouver, the City of Ottawa and the City of St. John's have provided support and recognition again in 2021 by proclamation September 1st as International Women in Cyber Day. 

Our International Petition on Change.org now has 1308 signatures and global support continues to grow.  

WCS2 has been working on a NEW site for Women in Cyber Day which will be launching soon.  In the meantime, visit https://womenincyberday.com to sign up for updates and new announcements.

New volunteers are still needed as well as IWCD Ambassadors.  Email us to express your interest in volunteering.

 Dear IWCD Supporters,

Thank you for all the love and support in 2019.  Last year's IWCD campaign was filled with many successes here in Canada, including over 1200 signatures of our International Petition on Change.org.

The Women CyberSecurity Society (WCS2) celebrated the first women in cybersecurity conference here in Canada with the Inaugural Women in Cybersecurity Conference on September 12, 2019.  Keynotes for this historic event included speeches from our local Member of Parliament, Hon. Dr Hedy Fry P.C., M.P., and the City of Vancouver's Councillor, Melissa De Genova who spoke elegantly on the importance of diversity and inclusion and the need for more women in cybersecurity.

We also received three regional declarations from Canada's leading mayors, across the country. Thank you, Mayor Kennedy Stewart, Mayor Danny Breen, and Mayor Jim Watson for all your support and advocacy of women in cybersecurity during 2019!  We look forward to your continued support.

These three capital regions proclaimed International Women in Cyber Day for September 1st which are the City of Vancouver, the City of St. John's and the City of Ottawa.  See the signed proclamations to the right

We also received this personal conference video message from The Right Honourable Prime Minister Justin Trudeau who supports and advocates on the important role women play within the cybersecurity industry.

The Honourable Dr Hedy Fry, P.C., M.P. is a champion of women in technology who walks the walk by including IWCD on her 2020 Calendar that went out to nearly 700,000 constituents in the Vancouver Centre riding. Thank you, Hon. Hedy Fry!

Keep on the watch for #IWCD2020 because we're planning something big! We're growing our amazing technology and educational partners and sponsors who place value on the contributions of women in this industry and want to celebrate with us in this valuable community! 

Lastly, we're gearing up to submit our 2020 e-petition to the Government of Canada, so keep watch for an announcement in the coming weeks.  

Sincerely,

Board of Directors
