Nicola Valley Women in Action will celebrate a milestone this Friday with its 10th annual Celebrate Women event.

The event honours women who make a difference in the community, and is recognition of International Women’s Day, which takes place on Saturday.

Lieutenant-Governor Judith Guichon will be one of 10 honourees, and is slated to speak at the event.

The event starts at 6 p.m. on March 7 at the Civic Centre, with doors opening at 5:30 p.m. The Nicola Valley Community Band will perform for the half-hour leading up to the start of the celebration.

Members of the public are welcome to attend.
