Illustration of six diverse women standing together and gazing upward with determination. They represent different ages, ethnicities, and styles, including one woman wearing a hijab and another with white hair. Above them, the graphic reads “JHS Ottawa Women’s Equality Day – August 26th, 2025” in bold white text on a dark blue and beige background, with yellow star-like sparkles accenting the design.

On Women’s Equality Day, we honour the ongoing fight for gender justice.
Here in Canada, women began gaining voting rights in 1918, although many were denied that right until 1960.

Illustrated graphic showing rows of raised hands in various skin tones and clothing styles, symbolizing diversity. In the centre, bold white text on a red background reads: “Happy Multiculturalism Day.” The John Howard Society of Ottawa logo appears in the top left corner.

📅 Did you know? Canada was the first country in the world to adopt multiculturalism as an official policy in 1971, and later enshrined it in law through the Canadian Multiculturalism Act of 1988.
