The 2nd International Haldimand Women’s Day Brunch returns on Sunday, March 8, 2026, bringing together women from across the community for an afternoon of connection, conversation, and celebration. Held at the Dunnville Community Lifespan Centre, this event marks International Women’s Day with a welcoming space to share stories, ideas, and encouragement.

Doors open at 12:00 pm, followed by an affordable brunch served at 1:00 pm. Attendees can enjoy a relaxed atmosphere featuring guest speakers, presentations, local vendors, prizes, and opportunities to connect with other women from Haldimand County and beyond.

This year’s theme, “Give to Gain,” focuses on the idea that generosity strengthens everyone involved. By sharing time, knowledge, mentorship, opportunities, and support, women can lift one another while also growing personally and professionally. The event highlights real experiences of growth, leadership, and success, with speakers and workshops to be announced closer to the date.

Whether you attend to network, learn, support local initiatives, or simply enjoy a meaningful afternoon with inspiring women, the Haldimand Women’s Day Brunch offers a positive and inclusive way to recognize International Women’s Day. All are encouraged to save the date and watch for upcoming announcements.
