Safeway stores across Alberta showed their pride and power last week as they united to celebrate International Women’s Day. International Women’s Day (March 8) is a time for us to acknowledge the powerful achievements of women, and spark meaningful conversations on the work still to be done. This year’s International Women’s Day theme was Balance for Better, emphasizing the importance of gender balance in the workplace.

We’re so proud to recognize the outstanding efforts of our Alberta Safeway employees as they joined forced to celebrate International Women’s Day. Stores personalized their celebrations and drove awareness in communities across the province. From bakery, to balloons, to flowers, our store teams went above and beyond to drive meaningful engagement with local customers.

We know that teamwork and shared responsibility drive a diverse and inclusive work culture, and are both proud and grateful for all of our Safeway employees who have joined us in our commitment to gender balance.

Take a look at the photos below to see how just some our stores celebrated. To see more, visit our Facebook group, “Safeway Team: Connecting Our Stores, Our People, Our Communities.”

Safeway is committed to creating an environment where our employees feel included, respected and valued for their unique perspectives. We know that diversity drives innovation and we recognize the power of a balanced team. With the support of our store network, we are dedicated to increasing the representation of women at Safeway as we strive to reflect our customers and our communities.
