The Famous 5 Centre of Canadian Women celebrates the legacy of five influential Alberta women like Emily Murphy, Nellie McClung, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Louise McKinney, and Irene Parlby who played a pivotal role in securing women’s rights in Canada. Located within a historically inspired building, the centre features exhibits that explore the social and political climate of early 20th-century Canada and the monumental “Persons Case” that granted women the right to be appointed to the Senate. Visitors can engage with multimedia displays, guided tours, and inspiring stories that continue to influence conversations around equality and civic leadership in Canada today.
