THE POWER OF WOMEN WORKING TOGETHER

ADVOCACY

CFUW addresses local, national and international social justice issues. We advocate for appropriate social policy regarding women's rights and equality. 

COMMUNITY​

We support our local community by giving time, expertise and money to programs for women and girls, youth and seniors and to cultural, sports and environmental events.

EDUCATION

We provide scholarships and bursaries annually to local girls and women graduating from High Schools, Okanagan College and UBC Okanagan. Last year these totalled $15,000. See special notice below! Also see Coming Events page.

Why join?

Fun, friendship and intellectual stimulation

Make friends over a shared interest or activity, while your membership fees are making a difference to women and girls in your community, across Canada and throughout our world.
Members may join the national CFUW delegation to attend the annual UN Commission on the Status of Women in New York.

We are pleased to offer copies of the book at half the original price to anyone interested. The books are a fascinating collection of Sheila's monthly articles for the Westside Weekly. They feature much local history, wry observations, descriptions of farm life and a great deal of humour. Why not pick up a copy or two - now only $10?
All proceeds to the club's Education Awards, as Sheila wished.
