    Ten Mountains in Canada Named After Women

    While the majority of geographic features in Canada are named after men, there are examples from coast to coast of places named for women. These place names reflect the story of Canada and were chosen for a variety of reasons. Some celebrate trailblazers and their accomplishments. Others are named for locals, or the friends and family of the person naming them. They can honour individuals lost during wars and women who made their mark on history. Here are 10 mountains in Canada that bear the names of women.

    Historical Boundaries of Canada

    The boundaries of Canada — and the provinces and territories within it — have shifted and changed throughout the country’s history. Key shifts coincided with the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the establishment of the 49th parallel with the Convention of 1818 and the Oregon Treaty in 1846, and the gradual establishment of provincial and territorial boundaries from Confederation onward.

    The 519

    The 519 — formerly called The 519 Church Street Community Centre — is located at 519 Church Street in Toronto’s gay village. It has evolved from a neighbourhood-led preservation effort into one of Canada’s most significant 2SLGBTQ+ community centres. Community-controlled from its founding in 1975, it quickly grew into a major hub for social services, activism and grassroots organizing after opening its doors in 1976. The 519 helped to establish Toronto’s Church and Wellesley neighbourhood as a centre of 2SLGBTQ+ community life. It is one of four 2SLGBTQ+ spaces featured in Canada Post's 2026 Places of Pride stamp collection, issued on 9 June 2026.

    The Bog

    The Bog was Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island’s historically Black neighbourhood. For over 200 years, Black residents have lived on the island in small communities, but from about 1810 to 1900, Black people were concentrated in this small district. The Bog was located in the town’s west end on marshy, undesirable land. It ran from Government Pond and Black Sam’s Bridge in the northwest to Richmond and Rochford streets in the southeast. Black, white and mixed-race people lived there. At its peak, approximately 100 Black Islanders called it home. Today, there is no trace of the neighbourhood as modern government buildings stand where the historic neighbourhood once stood. However, descendants of the Bog still live on the island and many people are pushing for the neighbourhood’s history to be officially commemorated.
