As part of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Elsie Reford, the founder of Les Jardins de Métis, a series of conferences has been organized to highlight the various passions of this inspiring woman who marked her era.
The Société d'aide au développement de la collectivité de La Mitis (SADC) is partnering with the Jardins de Métis as part of the Elsie 150 celebrations, to offer a conference on women's entrepreneurship. Mariane Gaudreau, co-owner of the company "Les Mauvaises Herbes" will talk about her entrepreneurial journey and the different challenges she has encountered.
This will be followed by a workshop-demonstration, in partnership with a newly started local business, "Silva Herbo", to make an ointment from plants produced in La Mitis.
It's a rendez-vous, November 19 at 1:30 pm, in the Great Hall of the Jardins de Métis
