  • PEI's Famous Five
    Celebrating PEI’s Famous 5 Another Famous Five? Most of us know about, or have at least heard of, Canada’s Famous Five - the five Alberta women who were the petitioners in the Persons Case. That case was brought before the Supreme Court of Canada in 1927 and later decided in 1929 by the Judicial Council of Britain’s Privy Council. It deemed women as persons in the eyes of the law. The women - Emily Murphy, Henrietta Muir Edwards, Nellie McClung, Louise Crummy McKinney and Irene Parlby - worked for many years in various campaigns, and gained national and international attention as advocates for women’s rights. But who are the women of Prince Edward Island’s Famous 5? Who Are the PEI Famous 5? In 1993, Her Honour Lieutenant Governor Marion L. Reid, Hon. Premier Catherine Callbeck, Leader of the Official Opposition Pat Mella, Speaker of the Legislative Assembly of Prince Edward Island Nancy Guptill, and Deputy Leader of the Legislative Assembly Hon. Elizabeth ‘Libbe’ Hubley became known as PEI’s Famous 5. Left to right, Guptill, Reid, Mella, Callbeck, and Hubley, were seasoned political veterans, each having worked behind the scenes for their respective parties, and each having served in in the Legislative Assembly. They were the first – and to date only - women to simultaneously hold the top five positions of political influence in the province. It was a first in PEI and in Canada, and has not since been replicated elsewhere in the country. Hon. Marion L. Reid: Lieutenant Governor By the time the photo was taken in 1993, Hon.
