Description:
Canada has two national anthems. The original French song is sung today just as it was composed in 1884. The English song uses the same melody, but it has different words, originally written in 1908 and subsequently changed a number of times. When the national anthems were officially adopted by Parliament in 1980, the same year that Canada adopted the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, the English version of the anthem referred to “all thy sons.†This web site records the campaign, successful in 2018, to change the English national anthem to be inclusive of women, of “all of us.â€

They served in many essential ways, supporting the war effort, their communities and organizations, and their families. They served at home and overseas as drivers, nurses and doctors.

Description:
This web site offers open access to a documentary exploring the life of Mary Coyne Rowell Jackman (1904-1994). Spanning a century of enormous change and development for Canada, Mary’s story has both universal and unique elements, framed by acclaimed Canadian director Laura Sky. Most importantly, how did she navigate and make choices as a daughter, wife, mother, and citizen of Canada and the world? Of particular interest may be her engagement with Canadian art and craft, including the Group of Seven painters.

Description:
Women’s rights in Canada are enshrined in section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which came into force on April 17, 1985. The struggles for women’s rights, in public or in private, big or small, started much earlier, and they will extend into the future. The features on this web site tell the stories of women, as individuals or in groups, who saw something that needed to be done, and got it done. Those stories connect, encourage and teach us to continue to make change that addresses the historical and systemic discrimination experienced by women and girls.
