We are proud to celebrate the talented women in downtown Perth!
Today we celebrate “the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women.” This day belongs to all women and we are very proud of the 50+ businesses in downtown Perth that are owned by women.
We asked these talented entrepreneurs, to tell us what International Women's Day means to them.
Here are some of the responses.

JULIE BREEZE- OWNER OF THE RED BRICK EMPORIUM

International Women’s Day is a time to celebrate all the powerful, intelligent, beautiful ladies in our community and all around the world. It’s a time to celebrate ALL OF US!!! It’s a time to reflect on how far we have come.
I take great pride in my business, Red Brick Emporium, created in the community where I was born and raised. A community that supports dreams! What I love the most about my business is the RBE Workshop and what it provides. It is a safe place for women to gather, relax and create beautiful DIY projects but it’s not just that. It provides a space where creative women entrepreneurs come to share their skills and their passions. It’s beautiful to watch.

MICHELLE MURPHY- OWNER OF FALL RIVER FASHION

For over 13 years now I have been running my own business in the heart of downtown Perth. It has been an honor to be working alongside of so many other competent, strong, successful women who have proven that gender is no barrier for success. I had been pursuing a career as a teacher when a revered mentor took me aside and said I had a mind for business and that I should follow my dream of running my own business. That was over 30 years ago and I’ve never looked back.

JULIA DASHKEVICH - OWNER OF IMAGES INTER ALIA

Feeling incredibly happy to be part of such a supportive community with so many strong, smart women business-owners. I have learned from all you ladies, how to set the bar high, how to be smart and know how to take control, and how contribute passion, intuition and heart to the world of business. We’re entering a great period of opportunity, and it helps us find flexibility, support ourselves and our families, and follow our passion through entrepreneurship!

Very excited to have opened Déjà Vu in beautiful downtown Perth connecting with many Entrepreneurs as we work together in team networking. Bringing the City’s into our Heritage town.

SUSAN STORIE - OWNER OF MARIPOSA DESIGN

My advice to young girls is this... be sure to dream and then follow your dreams because you never know where you might land. For me, I came full circle back to my hometown where I am proud to be a small business entrepreneur. It is an honor to be part of an amazing group of female business owners here in Perth and I wish them all continued success!

CHERYL STRABY - OWNER OF STREVE DESIGN

International Women’s Day is a celebration for all women and men to remember the accomplishments women have made and are making. A day to remember the women who created the path we walk , to celebrate the women who are working to improve their lives and the lives of other women around them and to inspire and mentor younger women to develop a passion ... to give it her all.

As a female entrepreneur in my 32nd year of business, I celebrate all the female entrepreneurs in Perth, Ontario of all ages and backgrounds. Business owners who put their hearts on display everyday to create this varied and interesting town that I am proud to call home.

As a female clothing designer , I celebrate women everyday ! My job is to empower women by creating clothing that shows them how to feel comfortable and confident with her own body and in her own skin. When a woman is comfortable in her own body , in her own skin , she can accomplish her own passion.

I thank you Perth for giving me the space to follow my passion.

SHERI LINSEMAN - OWNER OF APROPOS ON FOSTER ST.

" I am so proud of all of the wonderful women in our business community. Supporting and encouraging each other. I’m lucky to be a part of this tribe of women.
When I was a teenager, I remember wondering where my life would be when the calendar turned to the year 2000. When it came, I figured it was the right time to follow my dreams and be my own boss."

JULIA FOLEY - OWNER OF EVER AFTER BRIDAL ON FOSTER ST.

International Women's Day - What it means to me.

I am proud to be a female entrepreneur with such a vast female support system. International Women's Day is a time to truly appreciate how far women in business have risen through the years. To acknowledge how much things and times have changed.
We, as women in business;

have such a strong impact on the economy
support one another on a daily basis
improve each other's business by working together
paving the future for prospective women in business

This is just a tip of the iceberg.
Thank you for sharing.
Note:
In honor of International Women's Day we will be featuring all things purple this week.

MAGGIE SHANNAN- OWNER OF MAGGIE'S TEA AND TOAST CAFE, OPENING IN MAY

I come from a family where three of my grandmothers were entrepreneurs. A woman in 1930 was obviously not granted the same social graces in starting their business as I was & this is thanks to our social, economic, cultural & political progression as a society. I feel honoured to carry on the tradition, proving that the place for women is where ever they want to be.

KERRI WHAN - OWNER OF FASHION ENVY

"Being a female entrepreneur has given me the determination to balance my family life with my business and I couldn't have picked a better community to do this. I am amongst like minded woman who work together, learn together and will no doubt succeed together. This is a day for all of us to celebrate together and empower how far we have come to achieving our goal of making a difference." #balanceforbetter
