Each year, the breakfast gives the opportunity for guests to connect and to recognize the value women bring to Canada’s defence and security community. It also celebrates emerging leaders and awards scholarships to those studying in the defence and security fields to aid in promoting the advancement of women in careers related to defence and security.

As a sponsor of the event, L3Harris recognized three of its Canadian employees as WiDS Emerging Leaders: Nathalie Michaud (Manager, Contracts), Jane Guo (Engineering Group Leader, HCI for Marine Systems) and Elaine Irving (Regional In-Service Manager, Domestic Lead). An Emerging Leader is someone – in any stage of their career – who is doing great things, inspiring change and blazing a trail for other young women to follow.

The theme of this year’s breakfast was Be You. Be True. Belong., a message that transpired throughout the entire celebration. Many leaders from across the industry lent their voices to the event, including keynote speaker Jody Thomas, National Security and Intelligence Advisor to the Canadian Prime Minister, who addressed the crowd with an inspiring and passionate message about her career and accomplishments. In total, more than 1,500 people from the industries attended, including Canada’s Ambassador to Ukraine, Larisa Galadza, and her team, who were live from Kyiv.

From Humble Beginnings To A Capable Future - At the end of his life in 1896, Alfred Nobel, engineer, inventor and benefactor of the Nobel Prize, had a compelling idea for “An Improved Mode of Obtaining Photographic Maps and Earth or Ground Measurements” using a photographic camera carried by a “…balloon, rocket or missile.” Nobel unfortunately never lived to see a practical application of his idea, but his plans laid the groundwork on which other inventors made tremendous progress.
