Afghan Dinner FUNdraiser
At this special event held in April, we dined on delicious entrees of Afghan food. Our Club raised $2,475 in support of the CW4W Afghanistan Remote Communication Assistance Program.
The girls studying need devices to access the free educational resources of the DDL online library.
CW4W Afghanistan continues to offer creative ways girls can continue to learn under this repressive regime.
We celebrated IWD 2024 & our Club's 2023 accomplishments.
On March 8, we gathered with members from CFUW Clubs across Toronto for an International Women’s Day Luncheon ay the University of Toronto Faculty Club.
We were inspired by the address of guest speaker Professor Mayo Moran the first female Dean of the UofT Faculty of Law. She outlined three seminal cases, involving three brave women, that supported women’s rights in Canada.
Supporting the Precariously Housed & Homeless
This February we walked for Sistering for the 2024 Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser.
A special thank you to all of our supporters.
We raised $2700.00 for:
Club members attended the Toronto Underhoused & Homeless Union (TUHU) press conference & gathering on NHD, November 2023. It was an opportunity for TUHU members to be heard about their experiences and challenges including renoviction, exploitation, disrespect and harassment, and to voice their demands.
On a positive note, at our November General Meeting we hosted a team from WoodGreen Community Services that serves the residents of Cedarvale House, a home to more than 50 seniors who have transitioned from homelessness. It has been running for a year now.
Special Event: Beyond COVID
We thank our guest speakers and all who joined us for the event for a successful and informative evening. Dr. Wu, Dr. McCready and MPP Bowman engaged us with their different perspectives and knowledge of this complex topic and generated great discussion.
