On October 18th, we celebrate Persons Day, marking the 1929 ruling that recognized Canadian women as 'persons' under the law. This pivotal moment in history paved the way for women’s increased participation in public life and leadership.

Today, we honour their legacy and reaffirm our commitment to advocating for equal representation and opportunities for all women, especially in the legal profession. #law #womeninlaw #personsday
