Famous Five Statue: Honoring Canada's Pioneers of Gender Equality

Located in Calgary’s Olympic Plaza, the Famous Five Statue commemorates five remarkable women—Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Irene Parlby, Louise McKinney, and Nellie McClung, who fought for and won the landmark “Persons Case” in 1929. Their victory changed Canadian history by securing women’s legal status as “persons,” enabling them to be appointed to the Senate, a pivotal step towards gender equality in the country.
