3rd Annual Event to Honour Women Heroes

Brampton, ON, February 25, 2015: In an effort to support and recognize the role of women in present day’s society, the Indo-Canadian Arts and Culture Initiative (ICACI) is all set to host its third annual event Celebrating Womanhood.
This mandate is to provide a platform for global recognition for women, maintaining that gender is no longer the deciding factor for success and that all individuals, male and female, have a responsibility to build, contribute and maintain a society free of gender bias and provides equal opportunities for all in every sense of the word.

This year’s Celebrating Womanhood event aims to honour six successful women who will be honoured with the Women Heroes Award.  ICACI hopes to nurture and inspire many women to bring their latent talents to the fore and achieve the kind of excellence they themselves didn’t believe they were capable of.

“A woman is always challenged with playing multiples roles – she is a mother, a friend, a wife, a colleague and she needs to play all these roles to perfection. We endeavour to honour the hero within her that allows her to play all these parts tirelessly,” says Mokshi Virk, Founder and Director of ICACI.

Award Categories will be in the field of Arts and Culture, Community Leadership, Cultural Diversity, Business, Media and Music. The event will also provide opportunities to network followed by a dinner and dance and will take place at Sagan Banquet Hall, 7180 Edwards Blvd, Mississauga, ON L5S 1Z1, on March 14, 2015.

“ICACI is a proud organizer of such events”, says Shruti Ganapathy, co-founder of ICACI. “As women of today, we believe we must lead our society into a new paradigm of abundance, recognition and equal opportunities created and sustained through positive thoughts and actions of trust, support and unconditional love.”
