International Women’s Day is super important to our team. We celebrate it annually by wearing purple, having fun, and supporting the amazing Zonta Club of Ottawa to give back to our community. We are a women-led local small business, and we are passionate about supporting women in our community and internationally.  

Wednesday March 8th is our big celebration! We will be donating $25 for every pair of glasses or sunglasses sold to our amazing friends and driving forces in advocating and supporting women at the Zonta Club of Ottawa. Pick up your new specs or sunnies today to help empower and assist women locally as well as internationally.  

The Zonta Club of Ottawa is an organization whose mission is to empower women through service and advocacy. Zonta works hard to elevate the status of women both locally and internationally, and they have been in the service of doing so for 93 years! Zonta monitors laws and policies and their impact on women, as well as participates in hearings and public meetings with local politicians and administrators to ensure the consideration of women’s interests. Zonta also hosts speakers and panels to raise awareness about issues affecting women at the local level. The Club also recognizes community service and provides bursaries to promising young women in a variety of educational fields.

When you come in to see us make sure you wear purple too! While you’re here selecting your new glasses, you will also get access to our exclusive Grand Opening promotion which is a whopping 50% off your second pair of lenses, with or without a frame purchase. We have never offered a promotion this huge! Exclusions apply, so please ask your Optician for details.  

There is no better time to take advantage of these amazing savings all while helping to support the Zonta Club of Ottawa.
