SUMMARY:2026 Today’s Famous 5 Ottawa Awards Reception
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the recipients of Today’s Famous 5 Ottawa awards.



The awards recognize individuals whose leadership, courage and commitment to positive change carry forward the legacy of Canada’s original Famous Five — the trailblazing women whose determination helped establish women as “persons” under Canadian law.



This year’s honourees are:




Gipsy Ghosh



Julie Savard-Shaw



Helen Hirsh Spence



Marie-Eve Sylvestre



Brenda Okorogba (Youth recipient)




“Famous 5 Foundation Ottawa is honoured to recognize this year’s recipients for the remarkable difference they are making in our community and beyond,” says Beatrice Keleher Raffoul, chair of the Famous 5 Foundation Ottawa. “Their work reflects the values at the heart of the Famous Five legacy: the courage to challenge the status quo, the vision to imagine a more equitable future, and the resolve to turn that vision into action.”



Through their advocacy, leadership and service, they are creating new opportunities, strengthening communities and helping build a more just and inclusive society.



A cocktail reception will be held on Oct. 19, in partnership with Carleton University, to recognize these trailblazers.
