About Canadian Federation of University Women Edmonton
The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) is a non-partisan, voluntary, self-funded organization with over 100 CFUW clubs, located in every province across Canada. Graduate Women International (GWI), formerly International Federation of University Women, is an international network linking women graduates from all cultures, all fields of study, all professions and all generations. GWI has national affiliates in 62 countries, including the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW), and individual members in more than 40 others.
CFUW Edmonton has been active over 100 years, the national CFUW 100 year anniversary is 2019, and we are a member of the international organization Graduate Women International (also celebrating 100 years in 2019). Our membership is a community of women that have long history of successful efforts to improve the status of women at the local, provincial, national, and international levels and a commitment to continue those efforts today and into the future.
CFUW Edmonton’s activities are based on member-initiated ideas and projects within the context of the national organization’s policies. It is a diverse group of women who, through their involvement in academic, cultural and social programs in CFUW Edmonton and the community, strive for the development and education of all women.
