Persons Day
Marks the historic 1929 decision by Canada’s highest court of appeal to legally include women in the definition of “persons,” allowing women to sit in the Senate of Canada and opening doors for greater political and public participation. The Famous Five, five courageous Alberta women, led this legal challenge, achieving success for all Canadian women.
World Menopause Day
