LEAF Equality Day Gala

LEAF is a national non-profit organization, founded in 1985. The funding LEAF receives directly supports our vital work in ensuring the law guarantees substantive equality for all women, girls, trans, and non-binary people in Canada. LEAF focuses on litigation, law reform, and public education.  In particular, we seek to advance gender equality by challenging laws, policies, and practices that discriminate against equality guarantees enshrined in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, most notably sections 15 and 28.

LEAF&#x27;s annual Equality Day Gala is our largest and most important event - the funds raised directly support our work to advance equality rights. On May 31st, 2022, we&#x27;ll welcome hundreds of LEAF supporters to the Globe &amp; Mail Centre for a cocktail reception. We&#x27;ll share a wonderful evening of cocktails and culinary delights with members of the legal, feminist, academic, activist, corporate, and labour communities. The event will be hosted by Supriya Dwivedi.As part of realizing its vision of substantive gender equality rights in Canada, LEAF has decided to transition from celebrating Persons Day to celebrating Equality Day in April each year.
