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

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!
