Ottawa Luncheons - Famous 5 Ottawa

Please join Famous 5 Ottawa as we celebrate and honour the 2011 Governor General’s Persons Case Award Recipients.

Famous 5 Ottawa holds a series of luncheon events honouring prominent women who lead. In October, we host our annual event to recognize the Governor General's Persons Case Award Recipients as Nation Builders. In April and June, we honour women who have made contributions at the national and international levels. Past recipients have included Louise Arbour, Hazel McCallion, Sheila Copps, Pamela Wallin, Flora McDonald, Jean Augustine, Hayley Wickenheiser and female Senators.

Come and be inspired by their stories.
