Grateful to explore the history of women’s right to vote in Canada with Francis Wright and Beatrice Raffoul, in front of the Famous Five monument. A powerful reminder of the courage of these pioneers who paved the way to equality for all. #WomensSuffrage #FamousFive #Equality

Happy #InternationalWomensDay! Let’s celebrate all the women in our lives who are helping us in our journeys.💕 And let’s keep amplifying women’s voices – especially those facing barriers because when women have opportunities to succeed - we are all better off.

In honour of #InternationalWomensDay, we shine the spotlight today on former Speaker of the #HoC, the Rt. Hon. Jeanne Sauvé. She was the first and only woman to hold the position. She went on to become the first woman Governor General. What a legacy!
