"I learned so much about myself, but also other people from all over Canada. The diversity of the group brought together so many different perspectives. It was a very enjoyable experience, and I feel so fortunate to have been able to participate in it. It will truly have a lasting effect on my life.” - Young woman from the ELLE Project

"If you believe in issues in your community that no one seems to take very seriously, then imagine a place where a bunch of amazing girls are passionate about these issues as well and want to help you solve the problems and give you all their advice and help” - Young woman from the ELLE Project
