Awards commemorate the Persons Case The deadline to nominate someone for the Governor General's Awards in Commemoration of the Persons Case is July 15. Created in 1979, the awards mark the anniversary of the ground-breaking Persons Case, which changed history for women in Canada. In 1929, after two years of legal debate, Canada's highest court of appeal declared that the word `person' included both women and men.

The case had been brought before the courts in 1927 by five Alberta women who became known as the Famous Five. The case became known as the Persons Case. Each year, five recipients of these Awards continue the tradition of courage, integrity and hard work, which the Famous Five of the Persons Case inspired. This year, in recognition of the world's first International Day of the Girl (October 11, 2012), two of the award winners will be from the youth category (15-30 years old). Recipients are invited to Rideau Hall in Ottawa in October for the awards ceremony and will receive a medal from the Governor General of Canada. "The nominees and recipients of these awards can be from anywhere in the country and from all walks of life," said Oakville MP, Terence Young. "Oakville is an extremely active community with many worthy nominees. I encourage the community to put forward nominations on behalf of friends, family and colleagues." Nominations close on July 15.
