In the recent Legislative sitting, I was able to thank Miia Suokonautio, Executive Director of YWCA Halifax, for her long-standing advocacy in Halifax’s non-profit sector.
Through her commitment to the YWCA and the Halifax community, Miia leads efforts to build gender equality and support for young women, girls, Two Spirit, and gender diverse people and their families.
A writer of letters, a collector of stories, a listener, a reader, a traveller, Miia has intertwined her life with many others. As a decision-maker, policy informer, and nonprofit leader, Miia’s work transforms lives by addressing inequality, violence, poverty, and homelessness. Miia is a resident of Halifax Chebucto who is making a lasting impact on the lives of others, and it was my pleasure to thank her for her work.
