Xmas came early for 8 lucky women from the YWCA and EMBERS (Eastside Movement for Business & Economic Renewal Society.) The 8 women were treated to a complete make-over from Toni&Guy Vancouver and Dress For Success. The 8 women spent the morning at the Toni&Guy Vancouver salon getting their hair cut and colored.

Once an outfit was picked, it was back to the Toni&Guy salon for make-up. To end the day, the women were treated to a one-on-one photo shoot with fashion photographer Wilson Law.

YWCA Canada's mission is to be a voice for women in Canada, one that brings about policy and legislative changes that reflect women's needs.
