"I enjoyed being in the LEAD program, knowing that while I attended my son was benefiting from the Children's program. I gained new friends and learned more about Canadian society and how government works. We had the opportunity to discuss issues that interest women. Through LEAD, I learned about volunteering and I am now a member of the PIRS Public Relations Committee."
