On October 17, join us in recognizing the courage and conviction of the Famous Five women who fought for our equality as “persons” under the law, and celebrate your rights at this unique one-day educational event.

Hosted at Hycroft, a magnificent heritage mansion located in Shaughnessy, this Persons’ Day celebration will include speakers, discussion and reflection related to the politics of women’s lives.

Maureen F. Fitzgerald, PhD, talented mediator, bestselling author and masterful lawyer, will speak on The Truly Amazing (Invisible) Woman: Recognizing and Promoting Women’s Strengths, followed by an exclusive panel presentation with Penny Priddy, the only woman in Canadian history to be elected to school board, city council, provincial legislature and the House of Commons.

The Canadian Women Voters Congress and the University Women’s Club are honoured to present this event as part of their continued commitment to encouraging, educating and inspiring women as leaders.
