HistoryCelebrating Women & the Spirit of the Cranes was started in 2001 to recognize outstanding women and the contributions they make to our community. Through the ages, cranes have been featured in the folklore of Japan, China and First Nations of North America. Cranes symbolize industriousness, longevity, loyalty, and creativity—qualities of individuals who make a difference in our communities. Celebrating Women & the Spirit of the Cranes commemorates the return of Burns Bog's Greater Sandhill Cranes to Burns Bog that occurs in conjunction with International Women's Day, March 8. Our ceremony honours outstanding women who exemplify the qualities associated with cranes and who are making a difference in our communities. Our communities are richer because women give their time and talents to the projects they love. Here is your opportunity to nominate a woman who has made a difference in your community or workplace. |
