 On International Women's Day, BOMA BC proudly participated in the Herstory fundraiser event hosted by the Downtown Eastside Women's Centre (DEWC). This event serves as a beacon of awareness, shining light on pressing issues, honoring women from diverse backgrounds, and underlining the significance of grassroots organizations like DEWC.
Through member contributions, BOMA BC had the opportunity to donate $10,000 to the DEWC, which has provided support and essential services to self-identified women and children for nearly half a century.
