The Review would like to welcome you to the official Yes, Women Can! website.
Our first-ever show, which took place on Sunday, April 19 at the Vankleek Hill Community Centre was a great success!
Watch for pictures and a sound and slide show from this year's event on this website soon!
We had positive feedback and compliments all day long! You loved the one-on-one consultations, the beautiful kiosks, the health care professionals and our varied array of presentations, which took place at the rate of two every half hour! Our lobby lounge, furnished by Meubles Levac Furniture, was a great place to be and was a popular resting spot for visitors. and our free babysitting upstairs was a big hit and our shuttle bus moved people around town effectively throughout the day.
Please send us an email if you want to be on the invitation list as an exhibitor, presenter, or if you think you would like to offer 5 to 10-minute consultations for our 2011 show, which will take place on Sunday, April 17, 2011 at the Vankleek Hill Community Centre. That's the weekend before Easter!

Yes, Women Can! took over the Vankleek Hill Community Centre and the town for a day dedicated especially to women of all ages, with a special focus on the important and varied roles women play in business and community life. Our event forged relationships and showcased services tailored to women. Featuring keynote speakers and fun demonstrations in an intimate setting and interesting exhibits hosted by women from Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, we created an elegant and relaxed environment for women to learn from leaders and to pamper their bodies and souls, too!
Free babysitting upstairs was provided (children's healthy menu available at Village Café downstairs) at the Vankleek Hill Community Centre.
Children ages 18 months to 5 years:
The members of the Prescott District Women's Institute offered a babysitting service upstairs at the Vankleek Hill Community Centre while visitors were downstairs at the show!
