Persons Day celebrations take place every year on Oct. 18 to commemorate a 1929 decision by Canada ’s highest court that declared women to be full legal persons, allowing them to serve as senators.
The Persons Case was pushed through Canadian courts by The Famous 5 — a group of five Alberta women long considered to be trailblazers for women's rights in Canada , but who have become the subject of criticism over their treatment of racial minority groups.
Indigenous women not legally being declared full persons until the 1960s .
The monument was designed by Indigenous sculptor Barbara Paterson , and was originally installed to mark the 70th Anniversary of the Persons Case verdict.
