When 23 men met in Charlottetown PEI in 1864, their collective thinking and visioning ultimately led to the formation of Canada.

We wanted to know, what would 23 women envision for our country for the next 150 years?

In 2014, selected from more than 200 nominees, 23 aspiring and established leaders contributed to an anthology, participated in a Women's Leadership Conference and collaborated on a shared vision for Canada's future.

PEI Coalition for Women in Government partnered with four women's organizations in the province of Prince Edward Island to undertake this ambitious project of historical significance. To find out all the details, visit the official project website.
