Famous 5 Maquette Trailblazers Tour of Alberta
The Famous 5 are on a tour of the province where they made history! The Famous 5 Maquette “Trailblazers Tour” will introduce Albertans to these provincial heroes and inspire the next generation of trailblazers to be leaders and nation builders! Next stop on the tour: High River, AB!
This self-guided tour of the maquette of the ‘Women Are Persons!’ monument will be on display at the High River Library from April - 30th (during library hours; no cost to visit). Residents of High River are invited to meet the gutsy, resilient women from Alberta who secured the right for women to vote, seek elected office and serve as Senators. The F5 challenged the highest court to secure the first, international legal declaration of the principle of equality. Their efforts also contributed to Canada’s Constitution becoming a ‘Living Tree’ for the future. Because of their courage, Women Are Persons!
This tour is made possible with the support of the Alberta Government, Dept. of Arts, Culture & Status of Women.
The F5F thanks Mayor Tanya Thorn and the Town of Okotoks for being the first host of the F5 Maquette “Trailblazers Tour” and for their incredible welcome! Watch for details as the Famous 5 visit Claresholm, Fort Macleod, Pincher Creek Lethbridge, Medicine Hat and beyond!
