Climate Justice
Liz Koblyk from Vital Futures
How to move climate justice from an abstract idea to a visible issue strongly connected to Zonta’s core purpose: The workshop will focus on how Zonta can help women and girls thrive in an era of extreme weather and emergencies. Participants will better understand connections between gender and climate justice, and will begin identifying points of leverage that clubs can later prioritize and refine.
Sarah Sims from Zonta Club of Oakville
Emergency Preparedness for Me and My Family: How to make a plan for yourself and your household, with guidelines and checklists to follow.

Alternatively to using the link, guests can call the reservations line at 1-844-496-8549 and quote “Zonta Spring Summit Room Block” along with the dates to receive the group discount. We do highly encourage use of the reservation link as it is significantly faster than calling. As a reminder, the cut-off date for the room block is March 5th, 2025. Essentially this means this is the last day to book into the block, at the group rate. Any rooms remaining unreserved after this date will be released back into general hotel inventory and the group rate will no longer be available.
