In 2018, Viola Desmond was chosen for display on Canada's $10 bill to honour her legacy, particularly her refusal to participate in racial segregation (https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/viola-desmond).

Less well known is Carrie Best who, 5 years ahead of Viola, began a legal challenge of racial segregation in Canada by sitting with her son in the Whites-only section of the same theatre (https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/carrie-best).
