Daughters Day 2015
Nominate a Daughter of the Year
Daughters Day celebrates the lives, contributions, and achievements of all daughters. The vision is a world
and community where every daughter has full opportunity to achieve all she can without discrimination or
abuse.
Daughters Day began in 2012. The achievements of four women were recognized with the first Daughters of
the Year awards. In 2013 the event honoured 10 women and 12 were recognized in 2014. Information about
these women is available at www.daughters-day.com where nomination form can also be downloaded.
Now it's time for Albertans to nominate women for the 2015 awards. Think of women at any place in their
lives who impress you with how they are making life better in our communities, how they exemplify
qualities or actions that inspire others, or demonstrate exceptional achievement, perhaps in the face of
significant challenges. Complete and submit a nomination by June 1, 2015. Presentations will take place at an
August 29 event.
Nominations may consider activities and achievements in such areas as:
 Arts, Culture & Entertainment;
 Business;
 Community Service &Volunteerism;
 Education;
 Health & Medicine;
 Human Rights;
 Public Service & Politics;
 Science & Technology; and
 Sports & Recreation.
