This virtual club has been created to allow Canadian women the opportunity to connect with others across Canada and the world.
We are passionate about advocacy work at the local, national, and international level. We are proud members of a variety of networks, including the Canadian Federation of University Women and Graduate Women International.
We are entirely a volunteer run organisation and are grateful for the contribution of all of our members to connect with similarly-minded women’s organisations and promoting human rights and education around the world. To stay up to date, read our latest news and updates.
Types of Membership
CFUW Canada GWI is comprised of members who pay their CFUW dues through the club (primary members) and members who pay their CFUW dues through another club (dual members). For more information, please view our membership page.
Members Rights
Members’ rights are the same for primary and dual members. All members of the club have an equal voice on matters brought to the floor of club meetings. Voting allocation at CFUW meetings (AGM or Special General Meetings) is based on the number of primary members—one for each 25 members or major portion thereof up to 200 members; one for each 50 members thereafter. For more information, please view our Constitution and Bylaws.
Club Leadership
Club leadership is through a non-traditional board—a 5-member planning committee. Positions on the planning committee are: CFUW/GWI Liaison, Membership Coordinator, Treasurer, Communications Coordinator and Member-at-Large. See below for a list of our current leadership.
