Funny. Fearless. Unapologetically feminist.
In loving memory of Kate McInturff
On July 27, 2018, CCPA Senior Researcher Kate McInturff passed away. The CCPA mourns the devastating loss of our colleague and friend. Kate will be remembered as a feminist trailblazer in public policy and gender-based research.
Our hearts go out to her family. Kate’s colleagues, collaborators, and countless organizations across Canada are stronger because of her research, advocacy, friendship and conviction. Below is a collection of some of the public tributes to her incredible legacy.
It was a joy, an education and an awakening to know Kate McInturff. https://t.co/rGx83gBYO8

Kate knew that in order to truly achieve equality for Canadian women, you need to present the facts. Better yet, dig up the numbers. As senior economist for @ccpa, Kate found & used those numbers to quantify & contextualize the many inequities women still face today. 2/

Kate made these things happen. So very sorry to hear of her passing. Just went back through her feed a long ways to remind myself of where she’s challenged us all. We’ll keep at it Kate - with calculators and spreadsheets! #RIP https://t.co/u2xMpngL61

Kate thank you for this beautiful ode to the twin forces of hope and evidence. And thank you for your enormous gifts to our shared struggles for equality. You will be sadly missed, but there are waves and waves of people behind you, calculators ready, to carry on until we win.

She was super smart. A real Wonder Woman of feminist analysis and policy. She also had sass and great humour. And she is going to be really missed. The world feels like a lesser place today. Thx for all the greatness @katemcinturff https://t.co/pD87wDUenw #canfem @ccpa #CdnPoli

Kate McInturff wanted all women to succeed. She was never jealous or petty. She never saw another woman's success as a threat to her. She wanted us all to win.
Very sorry to hear of the loss of Kate McInturff. Kate was a trailblazer in the fight for gender equality, and an inspiration to all of us. Make no mistake, her work has made Canada a better place for all of us.

"I can’t sing myself offstage, but I leave a legacy of spreadsheets, graphs and love for you all. And a certainty that somewhere out there, someone is picking up her calculator and forging her own path forward."
