About Canadian Federation of University Women Mississauga
Founded in 1919, the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) is a national non-profit, non-governmental, non-partisan women's equality seeking organization of almost 10,000 women graduates, students and associate members in more than 100 clubs across Canada. CFUW has special consultative status at the United Nations and representation at the Education Committee of the Canadian Commission to UNESCO.
The Mississauga Club provides opportunities for fellowship and active participation in community projects, both locally and internationally.
These range from:
- Contributing toward a local shelter for abused women and children
- Mentoring book clubs for residents in seniors homes
- Funding facilities for Ethiopian school girls
- Raising funds for teachers' salaries in Afghan girls' schools
- Donating to a commemorative award in memory of the female students fatally shot at the Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal
- Supporting other initiatives to benefit the welfare of women and children
