Support having an Indigenous woman on the next Canadian bank note
Support having an Indigenous woman on the next Canadian bank note
Why this petition matters
Indigenous women have played an integral role in shaping the history and culture of Canada, yet they have been historically excluded from mainstream representation.
It’s time for change.
The Native Women's Association of Canada (NWAC) is launching "Change The Bill" – a campaign aimed at fostering reconciliation through art.
We are calling on all Canadians to support the recognition and representation of Indigenous women by signing our petition to feature an Indigenous woman on a Canadian bank note. By signing this petition, you are taking a stand for a more inclusive and equitable society for all Canadians.
"Change The Bill is not just about placing an Indigenous woman on a banknote, it is about recognizing the contributions and significance of Indigenous women in Canada and creating a more inclusive society," says Lynne Groulx, CEO of NWAC.
Sign our petition to call for change and representation on Canadian bank notes.
Follow the campaign on social media using #ChangeTheBill and @NWAC_Canada on Instagram. Let us know who you would nominate.
Learn more about the women and artists featured in this campaign at changethebill.ca , where you can support the Indigenous artists by purchasing prints of their artwork for $20.
