Women’s History Month (October 2024)

Women's History Month, celebrated annually in October, offers an invaluable opportunity to reflect on the profound contributions of women throughout history. It serves as a time to honor the achievements of women who have broken barriers and paved the way for future generations in various fields such as science, politics, arts, and civil rights.

This year’s theme, Women at Work: Economic Growth Past, Present and Future, highlights the significant contributions women have made to the workforce throughout history, and the critical role they continue to play in driving economic innovation and progress that has benefited Canada as a whole.

Let’s continue to honour women who have led by example and inspired other women and girls to realize their full potential by pursuing careers across all industries including those in non-traditional fields.
