Bill 183 2016

Act to proclaim Girls' Government Day

Preamble

Women

in Ontario are experiencing greater opportunities and career prospects than

ever before. Despite this, women continue to be underrepresented in Canada's

municipal councils, provincial legislatures, and the House of Commons. It is

crucial that the Province of Ontario take action to increase representation of

women in elected offices.

proclaiming April 12 in each year as Girls' Government Day, the Province of

Ontario will create an important opportunity for girls and their elected

representatives to come together. Girls' Government Day will complement the

Girls' Government program, a non-partisan initiative aimed at addressing the

issue of underrepresentation by creating more engaged political citizens, and will

promote diversity and create opportunities for girls to have greater

participation in the political process.

Therefore,

Her Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Legislative Assembly of

the Province of Ontario, enacts as follows:

Girls'

Government Day

12 in each year is proclaimed as Girls' Government Day.
