There was plenty of purple and pink colours in the city today as people celebrated the annual day for women which happens on March 8. And a given is that women should be paid the same as men when they have the same job. So help raise awareness for women's equality and gender parity.
The arch of Princes' Gates is purple
On March 8, 2021 the CN Tower was illuminated in pink and in Exhibition Place both the Enercare Centre and the Princes' Gates were lit in purple in recognition of the important International Women's Day. From the Exhibition Place website "The towers of Enercare Centre will be lit purple today in recognition of International Women's Day, a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of Women.

The pink CN Tower on International Women's Day
From the International Women's Day website "International Women's Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. The day also marks a call to action for accelerating gender parity. Significant activity is witnessed worldwide as groups come together to celebrate women's achievements or rally for women's equality."
The colour purple in International Women's Day stands for justice and dignity. Other Women's Day colours include green for hope and white for purity (which they admit is controversial).
