Honouring Apryll Aileen, Sharon Amirault, Debbie Rathwell And More

They are names you know and some you don’t.

Sharon Amirault, the Sisters of Charity and Debbie Rathwell are among the winners at the 3rd annual Saint John YWCA Women of Distinction awards being handed out tonight.

Musician Apryll Aileen is a winner in the Arts, Culture and Design category.

She tells us feminism is a hot topic right now saying there has not been equality across the board.

Aileen adds before she was alive women were picketing and marching for the basic rights we enjoy now like owning a house, having a bank account and being a legal person.

The awards gala is coming up tonight at the Marco Polo Cruise Ship Terminal starting at 6pm.

The Girl band from the Interaction Children’s Theatre is performing.
