PROJECT 150
Project 150: In alignment with the sesquicentennial anniversary (150th) of the Canadian Confederation, Tracy Barry founder of GROW created Project 150 to honour and celebrate accomplished immigrant and first-generation women by sharing their stories.
The project captured the voices of accomplished immigrant women in Canada to both celebrate and document their contribution to Canada. Through the process of documenting and sharing their stories, the women participating in this project will experience a sense of empowerment and younger women listening to their stories will feel a greater sense of the possibilities in their own lives.
