Bill S-225 — Law to Create National Thanadelthur Day
National Thanadelthur Day Law
This proposed law wants to create a special day across Canada. It would be called "National Thanadelthur Day" and be celebrated every year on February 5th. The day would honor Thanadelthur, a woman known for her role in establishing peace between the Dene and Cree peoples in the early 1700s. This proposed law affects everyone in Canada. It encourages people to learn about and remember Thanadelthur's contributions to peace and understanding. However, it's important to know that National Thanadelthur Day would not be a legal holiday. This means schools and businesses would not be required to close. This proposed law matters because it recognizes the importance of Indigenous history and figures in Canada. It helps to promote awareness and appreciation for the role of Indigenous women in shaping the country's past and present. It also offers a chance to reflect on the value of peace and reconciliation.
I think this bill on intimate partner violence is important. I want us to work together to make it better so we can help victims. I hope we can vote on it soon and send it to a committee to review it.

How likely this proposed law is to be approved
This proposed law has a good chance because it's already in committee in the Senate, showing it has some support. However, it's a Senate public bill, meaning it doesn't have the government's full backing, which lowers its chances.
