PAOV — There has never been an Indigenous woman on Canadian currency. The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) says that Indigenous women have played an integral role in shaping the history and culture of Canada, and it’s time they are represented on a Canadian bank note. You can show your support by signing the petition today.

2,809 have signed Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC)’s petition. Let’s get to 5,000!

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.
