The exhibition also highlights other design features of the vertical $ note, which centre on the theme of human rights and social justice. You will find an image of an eagle feather, an excerpt from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and an image of the Canadian Museum for Human Rights, where Wanda Robson spent the first new $ note 10 days ago.
We could not leave out of the exhibition the important stories of the 11 inspirational women who were also considered for the bank note. These remarkable women overcame barriers, created significant change and left Canada better because of their contributions. Soon, many Canadians will carry a Viola Desmond note in their wallets. But the lessons of her life must continue to be told.
