Four workshops being held to encourage, inform and educate women, gender diverse people and underrepresented groups interested in running for municipal government.
The Niagara Region is looking to support women interested in municipal politics.
Through the Seat at the Table program, the region is looking to address barriers women face when running for municipal office.
The program consists of four workshops to help women, gender diverse people and underrepresented groups feel informed and educated when running for local government.
Those who are successful in being elected will then be invited to participate in three sessions next year.
The Niagara Region says despite making up just over half of the area's population, women are underrepresented in local government.
The first session will be held virtually on Thursday, April 7th at 6:00 p.m.
Interested participants can register here until April 5th.
