By Jennifer McFee Right before International Women’s Day, local students had the chance to participate in a two-day conference that focused on gender equity. On March 2 and 3, female and female-identifi ed stu- dents from all three Interlake School Division high schools (Stonewall, Warren and Teulon) met at Oak Hammock Marsh for the event. The school division had received a $25,000 grant made available by the Interlake Community Foundation’s par- ticipation in the Pilot Fund for Gender Equality in Canada, a new collaboration between Community Foundations of Canada and the Equality Fund, which is supported by the Government of Canada. The conference started off with a talk by speaker and au- thor Samra Zafar, who was a child bride originally from Pakistan. The talk was live-streamed to the high schools so other students had the chance to hear her message. “I heard the kids say that she was the best speaker that they’d ever heard. It was very empowering,” Laura Perrella, TRIBUNE PHOTOS BY JO-ANNE PROCTER principal at Warren Collegiate Institute.

Teulon Collegiate Institute drama students are staging a mysterious comedy called Mystery at Shady Acres on March 25 and 26. Director Carolyn Szun expects that it will be lots of fun — for those on stage as well as for those in the audience. “It’s really neat. The kids are excited about it,” she said. “The gist is that a few misfi t peo- ple end up in a hotel and mysterious things happen. We get the audience involved in trying to guess ‘who dun it.’” All the students in the school’s drama course are involved in putting on the pro- duction. “We’ve actually got some other kids in- volved through the school, too, to help out backstage,” Szun said. “Lots of staff are also involved.” Dress rehearsal takes place on March 25 at 1:30 p.m., followed by the opening night performance at 7 p.m. The closing night show will start at 7 p.m. on March 26. All shows will take place at the school. There is no cost to attend, but there will be a silver collection for anyone who would like to make a donation. “It’s going to be great,” Szun said. “I hope TRIBUNE PHOTO SUBMITTED the audience enjoys it as much as we do.” TCI’s drama students will stage a mystery comedy on March 25 and 26.
