Persons Day is held annually on October 18 in recognition of the Privy Council’s 1929 ruling affirming the status of women as persons. This was a landmark decision that removed barriers to women being appointed to the Canadian Senate. This date recognizes the advocacy efforts of the Famous Five, and marks an important moment in the struggle of women to participate fully in Canada’s governing institutions.
