Got $10 in change today and realized how priceless it is to be represented - a Canadian woman is now on our currency. #Violadesmond is also the first Black person to be featured on a Canadian bill. Overdue but a great thing to see.
This year #Canada unveiled a new $10 bill honoring #ViolaDesmond , a successful black businesswoman and entrepreneur who challenged segregation in Nova Scotia in the 40s. Desmond is the 1st black person and 1st non-royal woman on a Canadian bank note. 🇨🇦 #BlackHistoryMonth
The ABC’s of Viola Desmond - L’alphabet de Viola Desmond. I’ve have the privilege of teaching some of the authors of both of these books this year! Nous avons lu les deux livres ☺️ William King School École Chebucto Heights School Halifax Regional Centre for Education HRCELITERACY HRCE_French Programs #ViolaDesmond
🇨🇦's $10 bill featuring Viola Desmond has received the prestigious 'Bank Note of the Year Award' from the IBNS. Ms. Desmond was a Civil Rights pioneer in Nova Scotia. #ViolaDesmond 🍁
Sad to hear of the passing of Wanda Robson, Viola Desmond’s sister. She was an amazing woman who worked tirelessly to carry on Viola’s story. She always had a smile and a kind word and treated you like you were the most important person in the room. #wandarobson #violadesmond
Finally got my first new ten(s). Donating to The Boys and Girls Club of Canada where I learned to swim as a kid. #violadesmond

Today, we read the story, 'Viola Desmond Won't Be Budged!' Then we used words to describe her to write a paragraph. Students described her as a brave woman, an upstander, and someone who did what was right, along with other strong words! #BlackHistoryMonth #ViolaDesmond
Last night Cst. Darren Ramdour had the honour of meeting the niece of Canadian civil rights activist #ViolaDesmond . Ms. Desmond is the first black person and first non-royal woman on a regularly circulating Canadian bank note. #BlackHistoryMonth #vpd
Today is a monumental day! Viola Desmond bank notes now in circulation.
“The Queen is in good company.” - Wanda Robson (Viola Desmond's sister)

Got a little thrill when the ATM finally gave me some of the new $10s.
Talk about hard-earned money.
