The excitement over #nasa’s #artemisii spaceflight has reignited our interest in exploring the universe beyond our own planet. 🚀👩🚀🚀
Women have been involved in our push to the stars since the beginning, and on #InternationalDayforHumanSpaceFlight, we wanted to give them the shout-out they deserve.
Kids say the darndest things, Part 2!
What age is considered old? 👶👧👩👵
We ask a group of youngsters the question, and it appears there’s no one answer. It also appears that age is just a number, and it’s all relative. Because when you’re young, everyone seems old! 💯
Robin Gill has spent over 30 yrs in broadcasting, and it’s made her tough. As she’s aged, she’s coming into her own as a full #ToughOldBroad. And as life writes new chapters, so does she.
Submit your own video, telling us what makes YOU one (or an aspiring one) or tell us about a Broad you admire.
In 2022, she was one of 25 recipients of the Women of Influence Lifetime Achievement Award. The interview she gave at the time is a must-read - but here is just one standout quote. Catch up on the full article here: www.womenofinfluence.ca/2022/01/11/h...
#ToughOldBroad Siila Watt-Cloutier has been educating others on climate change, health, and human rights for years. She has become a voice for Inuit rights worldwide, and has spent much of her energy drawing attention to the effects of the climate crisis on northern communities. #WorldHealthDay

Kids say the darndest things…
We’ve heard from #ToughOldBroads so far, but we wanted to check in with the youngest generation to find out what it means to be “old” in 2026. It’s clear we need to introduce them to more trailblazers!
But they just might be right about the hats and graham crackers…

"We lift as we climb..."
What does it mean to be a #ToughOldBroad? We asked the great Lisa LaFlamme - the first woman to anchor a national nightly newscast in 🇨🇦 - to weigh in with her take on what makes HER (and others like her) one. Her answer is inspiring...
