Celebrate Persons Day! Everyone is invited to this free, public celebration of the 95th Anniversary of the ‘Persons’ Case!

Join MC Teri Fikowski for this special noon hour celebration featuring a Land Acknowledgement by Chantal Stormsong Chagnon, musical performances by Carolyn Harley and the Nellie McClung Elementary School Choir, spoken word by Asha Nenshi Nathoo, special guests from Memory Lane Fashions, inspiring words by outstanding female leaders and more!
