October is Women’s History Month in Canada. A time to honour the courage of women who fought for rights many of us now take for granted. Less than 100 years ago, Canadian women weren’t even legally recognized as ‘persons.’ The Famous Five changed that in 1929, opening doors for women to lead in politics, communities, and sport. Their legacy reminds us that progress doesn’t come from silence, it comes from speaking up, stepping forward, and clearing the path for the next generation. Step Up. Speak Up. Play.
