TORONTO (July 5, 2022) – Founded and hosted by TSN’s Kate Beirness, the annual HER MARK summit returns to Toronto for the first time since 2019, on Sunday, July 10 at the MLSE LaunchPad. Sponsored by TSN, MLSE, and Under Armour, HER MARK is a day of action, support, and inspiration from strong female voices aimed at empowering the next generation of Canadian female leaders. The summit will be attended by 200 female high school students from across the country who have demonstrated outstanding leadership in their schools and communities. “I am unbelievably excited to be back in-person, learning, sweating, and inspiring the female leaders of tomorrow alongside some of our country’s greatest role models,” said Beirness. “HER MARK emerged as a way to spark high school-aged girls’ interest in sport – providing an integral outlet to build confidence, cultivate community, develop relationships, and galvanize leadership. Together we’ll continue to share our experiences and build upon these foundational skills.” Featuring motivational speakers, educational panels, and a packed roster of special guests, HER MARK aims to inspire and encourage the future generations of Canada’s female leaders through motivation and guidance from strong female role models. The event includes a full slate of activities and panels, including:- Beirness in conversation with ETALK and THE SOCIAL’s Lainey Lui sharing stories of perseverance and overcoming obstacles.
