October 18 is Persons Day in Canada.
It marks the day in 1929 when the historic decision to include women in the legal definition of “persons” was handed down by Canada’s highest court of appeal.

This gave some women the right to be appointed to the Senate of Canada and paved the way for women's increased participation in public and political life. Though this decision did not include all women, such as Indigenous women and women of Asian heritage and descent, it did mark critical progress in the advancement of gender equality in Canada.

Going for a walk can be so beneficial for your mental health. Now is a great time to get outside and enjoy the snow free ground.

🌿Going for a walk helps your body produce endorphins, serotonin and dopamine. These are known as “feel good” chemicals. They’re produced in your body as you take in more oxygen.

🍂Your walk can also help improve your sleep quality and length, as well as reducing symptoms of anxiety.

🪺A daily walk is also a great way to stay in touch with those around you. If you can find a friend or neighbour to walk with every day it will help hold you accountable while strengthening your relationship.

In 1992, the Government of Canada designated October as Women’s History Month, marking the beginning of an annual celebration of the outstanding achievements of women and girls throughout Canada’s history.

Some of the ways you can personally celebrate Women’s History month are to read books about women’s history, watch films by and about women, listen to female musicians, and support women-owned businesses.

The National Day for Truth and Reconciliation became a federal holiday in 2021 in order to enact Call to Action #80 of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada. The Call to Action states

“We call upon the federal government, in collaboration with Aboriginal peoples, to establish, as a statutory holiday, a National Day for Truth and Reconciliation to honour Survivors, their families, and communities, and ensure that public commemoration of the history and legacy of residential schools remains a vital component of the reconciliation process.”

Both the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation and Orange Shirt Day take place on September 30.

Orange Shirt Day is a commemorative day led by Indigenous communities to raise awareness about the intergenerational impacts of residential schools on children, families, and communities. It honours Indigenous children who were lost in the residential school system.
The orange shirt symbolizes the loss of culture, freedom, and self-esteem that many Indigenous children experienced. This day reminds us that “Every Child Matters”. On this day, all Canadians are encouraged to wear orange.

Each year, September 30 marks the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.
The day honours the children who never returned home and Survivors of residential schools, as well as their families and communities.
