ABOUT THE SHOE PROJECT

The Shoe Project is a registered non-profit, founded in 2011 at the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto by novelist Katherine Govier. Their mission is to improve the written and spoken English of women who are newcomers to Canada and who are potential leaders. The Shoe Project places their stories of arrival in our national conversation, and fosters a sense of sisterhood amongst women of different origins, so that they, in turn, will help others ‘in their shoes.’
