“As we celebrate Women’s History Month, including International Day of the Girl on October 11 and Persons Day on October 18, let’s take the opportunity to recognize the women and girls in Canada who have made, and continue to make, a lasting impact on our country’s history with this year’s theme, #MakeAnImpact.
“On International Women's Day, all Canadians are invited to celebrate women’s contributions to our country. While we have made significant progress toward achieving gender equality, we know much more work is needed to end discrimination, toxic workplaces, and gender bias throughout our society.
On this day in 1989, 13 female students and a female administrator at l'École Polytechnique de Montréal were tragically murdered simply because they were women.
The Government of Canada invites all Canadians to join in recognizing today as the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism Against Gender-Based Violence in Canada and around the world
Every October 11th, Canada and other countries around the world celebrate International Day of the Girl, a day dedicated to celebrating the incredible strength, courage, and resilience of girls.
Women’s History Month is a time of celebration; it’s an opportunity to reflect on where we have been, honour those who have paved the paths toward gender equality, and recognize all of the women and girls in our communities who continue this work each and every day
