The anniversary of the winning of The Persons Case by The Famous 5 is fast approaching.  Thursday, October 18, 2012 will be the 83rd anniversary of the day The Famous 5 received word from The Privy Council in London, England that women were indeed persons!!!

After many years of attempting to change the law of our land these five tenacious women finally won the right for women to be considered persons in the eyes of the law.   This important change in the legal status of women not only applied to Canadian women but also to all women in the Commonwealth.

These five women stood together and kept moving forward after every attempt at all levels of the Canadian judicial system ended in failure.  They are a great role model for us.  If we have never failed then we have probably never really tried.

Come on down to The Monuments to The Famous 5 in Olympic Plaza in Calgary on Thursday, October 18, 2012 at noon and join in this fun celebraton of these tenacious women.   This one hour event will include singers, a children's choir, fun and factual snippets of information from historian and author Nancy Millar.  This is also an opportunity to share with others your own personal sense of appreciation for what the Famous 5 accomplished.
