When Amber Cameron from Radiant Skin Clinic heard that the Regina Sexual Assault Centre was expanding their services to Moose Jaw, she knew she wanted to do something to help the project.
In partnership with Canadian Laser Institute, Cameron decided to put together a women’s luncheon and bring in a panel of guest speakers to talk about the power of female ingenuity.
The luncheon and retreat will take place at the Grant Hall on Mar. 8, which is International Women’s Day and also the 10th anniversary of Radiant Skin Clinic opening in the city.
“We wanted to do something community-minded, women-minded, and sort of empowerment-minded as well,” said Cameron. “So it was just sort of a light bulb, where we thought that's perfect timing, that's who we want to support.”
The retreat has been slowly releasing the speakers who will be attending the event, including chiropractor Dr. Christine Majeran, writer Christalee Froese, Juno-nominated singer-songwriter Megan Nash, and grief support facilitator and volunteer Della Ferguson.
Tickets for the luncheon and retreat are $50, and Cameron has already arranged for the proceeds to be donated to the Regina Sexual Assault Centre and Moose Jaw Transition House to help bring satellite service to Moose Jaw.
Cameron is looking forward to the event, and promises that it will be a fulfilling afternoon for those who decide to attend.
“There'll be a lunch, a few speakers who are very empowering and uplifting, a gift from Radiant Skin Clinic,” said Cameron. “It should be a good afternoon.”
The doors for the event will open at 12 p.m., with registration to follow. The lunch will start at 1 p.m. and the guest speakers will present from 1:30 p.m. to 3 p.m.
