Lobb recognizes International Women's Day; Huron-Bruce Daughters of the Vote delegate

Wednesday (March 8) in the House of Commons, Regan Preszcator (above right with Huron-Bruce Ben Lobb) of Clinton took Lobb’s seat in Parliament as the Huron-Bruce delegate for Daughters of the Vote.

Daughters of the Vote is a non-partisan initiative launched by Equal Voice, an organization seeking to increase women’s participation in politics.

The Daughters of the Vote conference brought together 338 delegates – one young woman for each federal riding - from across the country for a three-day conference in celebration of 100 years of women’s suffrage in Canada and to mark International Women’s Day.

“I am honoured to be participating in this initiative to bring a rural perspective to these discussions and advocate for increased representation of women living in rural Canada," said Preszcator, a graduate of St. Anne’s Secondary School and currently in her fourth year at the University of Ottawa for English and business.

She is employed in Lobb's office. For more information, visit www.daughtersofthevote.ca/rpreszcator
