The Famous Five
Did you know that October 18 is Persons Day in Canada?
It marks the day in 1929 when the historic decision to include women in the legal definition of “persons” was handed down by Canada’s highest court of appeal. This gave some women the right to be appointed to the Senate of Canada and paved the way for women's increased participation in public and political life. To learn more about The Famous Five women, and how they contributed to this human rights movement, join us on Oct 23 and Let's Talk Change.
