How Women Challenge and Change our Laws with Guest Speaker Dr. Sylvia Solomon
Over the years, women have successfully challenged and changed laws, both in the United States and Canada. Explore three landmark human rights trials:
– 1954: Brown v Board of Education – Concerning segregation in US Schools
– 1969: Roe v Wade – A woman’s right to choose
– 2015: Carter v Canada – Giving Canadians the right to die with dignity
Learn how “great triumphs can only come out of great trials.”
To celebrate this event, pick-up an IWD goody bag at the JCC.

The Printed Word Series - Crossword Construction - Celebrating International Women's Day
2021-03-09 11:00 - 12:30
A crossword puzzle is much more than just a game – it is a place to explore and discover new ideas, associations, details and subtle language differences. International Women’s Day is an opportunity for us to think together about womanhood, what being a woman means today. We invite you to join a live session in which we will create a crossword puzzle and YOU will actively choose the clues and the answers.
Proceeds will be donated to the Women’s Centre of Calgary. A copy of the finalized puzzle will be published by the JCC and inviting downloaders to donate to the Women’s Centre of Calgary.
Cost: $6 | Code: 7473
Register online below or by calling 403-253-8600, ext.0. Zoom link will be sent upon registration.
Materials required: 1 pencil. Grid will be emailed upon registration.
This class is part of three original activities for “wordy” people that also includes Book Folding Art – Purim Edition (February 23 and 25) and Blackout Poem Creation (March 30).
