COLDEST NIGHT of the YEAR
CFUW's team again took part in this fund-raiser for Metro's work with the unhoused. We were pleased to raise over $700 for this valuable work. Thank you to all who came out to walk and all who contributed.
SPRING FIELD TRIPS
On March 28th the Out and About Group toured UBCO campus. Several members of the group bussed there and back. The tour focussed in part on the Engineering Building and the efforts that UBCO is participating in to encourage girls in the sciences, particularly engineering, when they are at a younger age. We started at the “14 Not Forgotten” Memorial which is just east of the Engineering (EME) building and commemorates the women killed in the Ecole Polytechnique massacre as well as the Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women. The tour then progressed to see the site of a new building which will be focussed on interdisciplinary collaboration and is supported by local First Nations, we met our scholarship recipient, and toured other buildings as well as the campus food banks.
On May 2nd we enjoyed a guided visit to the Kelowna Heritage Museum temporary exhibit: Spring Fashion-From Collections to the Catwalk. One of our members even found the perfect pair of shoes from the “dress-up” chest!! Photos below.
ADOPT-A-ROAD CLEAN-UP
Our spring road clean up was on Thursday, April 11th, see photo of some of the volunteers below. Thank you to all who came out to help in this valuable community endeavour.
CFUW's BC Council AGM and Conference was in Nanaimo, May 3 - 5, and CFUW National's AGM and Conference in Edmonton, July 22 - 24. Watch for reports from both conferences as time goes on.
