Think Globally. Act Locally.
The CFUW Canada GWI Club was designed to build relationships and make connections with similarly minded womens’ organisations in Canada, the Americas, and around the world. Essential to our structure is our membership in both CFUW and GWI, working closely with the CFUW International Relations committee to connect policy issues and programs between these networks. We also have connections with other groups who share our interests and goals. If your organisation would like to partner on one of our advocacy issues, or would like to introduce us to your own work, please do not hesitate to contact us.
