Viola Desmond on the $10 Bill
It's so exciting to finally have a woman on currency in Canada (aside from the Queen, of course)! Viola Desmond has been chosen as the first woman to take a place on our cash monies, and she is a pretty inspiring human.

Then, when she was barred from studying hair dressing at any local schools due to her race, she went abroad to learn how to cut hair, coming back to open her own studio AND a school to teach other women of colour the same skills.

If you want more sweet dealings from this past year, check out CNN's Top 10 Heroes of 2016.
