International Women’s Day is a global celebration of women’s achievements and a call for gender equality. On March 8th, Canadians come together to celebrate the strength and resilience of women, and to advocate for continued progress towards gender equality.

Pride Month (June)
Pride Month is a time to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and advocate for LGBTQ+ rights. Across Canada, cities and towns hold parades, events, and other activities to show support for the LGBTQ+ community and raise awareness about discrimination and prejudice. Pride Month also provides an opportunity for allies to show their support and solidarity with the LGBTQ+ community.
