WOMEN'S CENTRE 20TH ANNIVERSARY GALA
Congratulations to the University Women's Centre on a successful gala to celebrate their 20th anniversary (16/03/2024). They've worked tirelessly to promote a safe, inclusive space for UNB and STU students, and we are so grateful for what they offer to our community. A few of our exec members were able to attend the gala and were inspired by the amazing speeches and the information about the incredible women of UNB and STU. Here's to another 20 years!
HIGH SCHOOL PRESENTATIONS
Another round of successful high school presentations at Leo Hayes High School on March 1st, 2024! The team presented to 10 classes, and shared information on menstrual stigma, period poverty, managing symptoms, and sustainable menstruation. Thanks to all the students for your attention and questions, and congrats to the winners of our trivia quiz 🥳
ZUMBA AT THE CURRIE CENTRE!
We are so grateful to the Currie Centre team for supporting us in hosting another fantastic Zumba event! We had a blast and were able to collect some donations for our community partners. We're looking forward to the next one, and a huge thank you to Rachel for leading another exciting, energizing class!

GIRLS STEM UP CONFERENCE 2024!
The Menstrual Health Society was thrilled to attend the Girls STEM Up (@girlsstemup) conference once again this year! On February 24th, 2024, the Girls STEM Up team held their sixth conference with the goal of inspiring and empowering women, girls, and other under-represented groups in STEM. The Menstrual Health Society participated in their networking event, meeting delegates, sharing what our society works towards, and doing a sustainable product giveaway. We can't wait for next year's conference!
WELLNESS EVENT!
The Menstrual Health Society was so happy to hold our first fall wellness event on November 29, 2023! Students stopped by and were able to make their own self-care kits, filled with period and hygiene products, school supplies, and some snacks and goodies. Thank you to our sponsors and partners for this event, Cove Kombucha, Tea of Life Kombucha, Slipp, and Blume!
MCAF WELLNESS FAIR
The Multicultural Association of Fredericton's Wellness Fair (October 12, 2023) gave us a great opportunity to reach out to our community, and bring positive awareness to menstrual health. We were able to hand out lots of menstrual products, and brought menstrual cups and other reusable products and were able to share how to use them. Our booth was very well-received and people were so excited to hear about our group and it's goals! We had a great time!
ZUMBA AT THE CURRIE CENTRE
The UNB Menstrual Health Society would like to thank Beth, Erin, Rachel, and the rest of the team at Reds Recreation for working with us to make this Zumba Product Drive possible! We were able to bring awareness and donate to a great cause (and have loads of fun!)
Thank you to everyone that donated and participated as we collected an exciting amount of hygiene products which will be donated to our various community partners. We hope to see you at the next one!
