Volunteer Kingston is encouraging people in Kingston, Ontario, to get involved in local activities for International Women’s Day on March 8, 2026. This year’s theme is “Give To Gain,” which focuses on how residents can support gender equality by giving their time or resources to help the whole community grow.
On Saturday, March 7, 2026, the Broom Factory will host a music showcase featuring several local artists. The lineup includes performances by Miss Emily, Kyra, Piner, Atiari, and Luella to celebrate the day through the arts.
The Italo-Canadian Club of Kingston is also hosting a special event on Sunday, March 8, 2026. This gathering will include a fashion show, a luncheon, and the chance to shop with local vendors while supporting women’s services.
For those looking to help directly, Volunteer Kingston is promoting short-term volunteer shifts with organizations like Elizabeth Fry Kingston. These opportunities are designed for people who want to make a difference during the busy week without a long-term commitment.
The International Women’s Day campaign also encourages supporters to take photos with their hands cupped in front of them. This pose is meant to symbolize the act of giving and receiving support within the community.
