March 13, 2020 – Ontario’s chief medical officer Dr. David Williams has just announced the “immediate suspension” of all gatherings over 250 people because of the risks of #COVID19.

Given the volume of attendees at Women as Career Coaches and our commitment to do our part to stop the further spread of COVID19 we will be postponing **Women as Career Coaches** that was scheduled to take place on **Wednesday, March 25, 2020** at the Burlington Convention Centre.

After our 15 year legacy of creating a culture of mentorship in Halton we ask that our attendees can be patient and support us as we go through the rescheduling process.

If you have already purchased a sponsorship or ticket to the event, we will carry this commitment forward to the rescheduled date. A rescheduled date will be communicated.

Thank you and be well,

The HIEC Team
