October is Women’s History Month in Canada, a time to celebrate the women and girls from
our past and our present, who are contributing to a better, more inclusive Canada. Women’s
History Month also shines a light on the inequalities women still face, such as wage gaps,
underrepresentation in leadership, and barriers to entering and advancing in the workforce, and
the need to work together toward lasting change.
