70th Anniversary Year Kickoff last September
Special Celebration with Cake at the April AGM
We celebrate IWD 2025 & our Club's 2024 accomplishments.
IWD was March 8.
As CFUW members we are committed to:
Accelerate Action for Women’s Equality.
Members of Toronto area CFUW clubs gathered for a luncheon on March 18 at the UofT Faculty Club. Guest speaker was Dr. Jean Marmoreo.
Gender Based Violence
Each year from November 25 to December 10 we recognize the 16 Days of Activism against Gender Based Violence. Each year at our annual Wassail Party we have a FUNdraiser in support of the YWCA Women’s Shelter. At our event on December 5 we raised $3230! We thank Dolly Jewellers and Janice Mitchell, Broker, Royal LePage Real Estate Services for once again sponsoring our FUNdraiser by providing amazing prizes.
Many housing advocacy organizations, including our Club, took the opportunity to be a united voice for housing on November 21 at Queen’s Park. The housing crisis affects many women fleeing from abuse and those needing safe, secure housing.
Anniversary Year off to a Start!
Seniors for Climate Action.
On October 1, National Seniors Day, members from CFUW North Toronto, UWC North York and our Club participated in the rally at Queen’s Park which moved on to Holy Trinity Church for a program of entertainment and speakers. It ended with a rousing speech by David Suzuki.
Climate Change is one of our advocacy issues. Our September guest speakers highlighted climate change events throughout the history of the earth. The changes we are currently experiencing are without doubt linked to human activity.
Supporting the Precariously Housed & Homeless
This February due to too much snow we were unable to walk, but we joined together in spirit and over a special lunch to raise over $3,070 for Sistering for the 2025 Coldest Night of the Year fundraiser. We will meet for a walk at a later date.
A special thank you to all of our supporters.
