Video Recap from an "Empowering Women In the Outdoors" Event at Arc'teryx Headquarters
Hey everyone!
I had the opportunity to tour the Arc'teryx Headquarters in Vancouver, Canada last night and attend an inspiring event all about empowering women in the outdoors.
I don't often discuss my day job, but I work for a great, 100% employee owned company that is a well-known brand in the outdoor industry. It was great to meet a bunch of inspiring thought leaders last night.
In this video, I recap a bit about the organization sponsoring the event and how I met the president of Arc'teryx. They have over 1000 employees in Vancouver, BC - and they are actually giving everyone a paid day off for "International Woman's Day" to celebrate the bad ass women in their life.
Check out the video to get my thoughts from the event and to see a video journal of the night. If you have ever been curious what the inside of the Arc'teryx design office looks like - then check this video out!
Shots from the Night!
I hope you guys enjoy this video and find some inspiration from it.

Nice to see you having a great time....besides Women empowerment is an important topic these days..so great job..
Wow !!
Great motivated post, specially for woman...
Some of people think woman and man are not equal..
But their thinking is very poor..
Woman can do anything ..
I think what caught people off guard was the fact that this was a all women's panel empowerment event and we have a male's perspective on an ALL women's panel... I think you have to be careful when it comes to advertising your work... cuz that caused controversy and unfortunately led to the canceling of the event...HOWEVER I do think it would be good to have a man's perspective but instead of having a separate panel how about have 1 or 2 on some of the female panels to balance it out so that it's a fair and equal conversation overall!
What panel are you talking about? Are you talking about an event you attended? Sorry, your comment confuses me.
Well of coarse feminism cannot afford to be dead considering the war on women is still alive and flourishing. In fact I think it's at it's worst it's been in years taking in account the enormous backlash from men concerning women's rights.
I haven't heard about Arc'teryx yet, may be one day I will have one of there jacket in my collection as they are expensive, and really a good initiative taken by them, such an initiative is taken by only few private firm, good for them and the people who were present there, I myself support women empowerment
thanks for your post, this is very motivating for women and also when meeting with big people or important people who fund an organization or activities to my women very support it, very good thing to do
Fantastic work there. Amazing stuff.
I love the picture quality too.

Happy Women's Day
You are just as wonderful as sunset dear. This is really good of you.
I just googled Acrteryx products,looked through Amazon.in.Some of them looks really high ends.good work by the company on women empowerment issue,I think these kind of event should be carried out in sub-continent countries more often rather than a developed country like Canada.because India is one such country where crime against women is on the rise.girl infanticide is there,rape,eve teasing,acid attacks these things are pretty common here,sometimes back Delhi our capital city ranked as rape capital.
Empowering a man is like empowering a personality,empowering a women is like empowering a community.
This is awesome.
Really inspiring .
