Founded in 1945, Canadian Federation of University Women Guelph represents nearly 80 years of continuous commitment to women's empowerment, education, and social progress in Guelph, Ontario and the surrounding Wellington County region. This vibrant organization brings together approximately 180 women spanning multiple generations—from young professionals in their 20s to seasoned members in their 90s—creating a rich tapestry of perspectives and experiences. What makes CFUW Guelph distinctive is its celebration of longevity and renewal; while the organization welcomes new members and students each year, many members have maintained their involvement for over three decades, creating a strong foundation of institutional knowledge and lasting friendships. At its heart, CFUW Guelph is built on the principle that education and experience should serve community good. Members are united by shared values including advancing human rights, promoting gender equality, and fostering informed civic participation among women. The organization creates space for women to put their diverse talents to work—whether through interest groups built around shared passions, monthly programming that stimulates intellectual growth, or direct advocacy on matters of public importance. As part of the broader Canadian Federation of University Women network and the International Federation of University Women, CFUW Guelph connects local women to a global movement for women's advancement. The organization operates as a voluntary, non-partisan, non-profit entity with consultative status at the United Nations, demonstrating its commitment to meaningful social change. For women in Guelph seeking community, purpose, and the opportunity to make a difference alongside accomplished peers, CFUW Guelph offers both belonging and impact.
