    In this episode of The Spotlight Hour, I am celebrating International Women's Day by reconnecting with two inspiring and visionary women. In my role, as a news anchor and reporter at Global Calgary, I also had the privilege of interviewing over 170 women as part of the Woman of Vision program. In a monthly news segment and column in the Calgary Herald we featured their inspiring journeys and highlighted how they were making a difference in our community. In this two-episode series, I wanted to revisit just a few of those stories and find out where those women are today and how they're continuing to share their lasting vision. Listen in to a conversation with Cara Moeller Poppitt and Dr. Rupinder Toor, on The Spotlight Hour.
