Celebrating 100 Years of Women at the Bar
In 2026, we mark a century since Roma Stewart became the first woman called to the Prince Edward Island bar—a milestone in our province’s legal profession. We will be highlighting this landmark event to recognize not only this historic moment, but also the broader story of women in law on PEI. Despite Stewart’s call in 1926, another woman would not join the bar here for 50 more years. This centennial reminds us that the progress we celebrate is both significant and surprisingly recent. Several of the first ten women ever called to the bar are still practicing today, highlighting how close we remain to the earliest chapters of this journey.
 
At our Mid-Winter Meeting on January 23, 2026, and the evening dinner and reception, we will honour this pivotal moment, the women who opened doors, those who continue to lead, and those who will shape what comes next. Join us as we celebrate a century of progress and recommit to keeping the flame lit for future generations. Register here.
