2. Teachers, please have students empty your paper recycling bins in the basement sometime today.  Please remind students to make sure there is room in the bin before they dump it.
3. Today is International Women’s and United Nations Day for Women’s Rights and International Peace(United Nations)- “The celebration of March 8th as International Women’s Day(IWD) recognizes the struggles of women against all forms of discrimination and exploitation and focuses on the need for global equality, democracy and peace.  On International Women’s Day, women on all continents, often divided by national boundaries and by ethnic, linguistic, economic, and political differences join in the commemoration of this significant event.  On March 8th 1908, women needle trade-workers in New York reacting against their brutal exploitation held a women’s day demonstration.  These women fought for the right to unionize and demanded the right to vote.  The success of the rally led to similar rallies in other US cities and in other countries. Why is international women’s day important to recognize in Canada? In 2005 women earned just 70.5% as men, and 70% of minimum wage earners are women.  More than half are immigrant racial women.  Two million adult Canadian workers earn less than 10 dollars an hour of which two thirds are women (according to Statistics Canada 2007).
