Canadian Federation of University Women Strathcona County

The Canadian Federation of University Women Strathcona County is a dedicated member organization within Canada's national network of over 100 CFUW clubs representing more than 7,000 women across the country. Based in Sherwood Park, AB, the organization operates as a voluntary, non-partisan club committed to advancing the status of women and girls through comprehensive education, advocacy, and community engagement initiatives. The club delivers its mission through multiple focused programs: supporting educational opportunities for girls and women at both local and international levels, facilitating lifelong learning experiences, organizing community action projects, and advocating on critical issues affecting women and girls. Members in the Sherwood Park area benefit from a robust calendar of activities designed to foster personal growth, professional development, and meaningful social connections. Founded nationally in 1919, the Strathcona County chapter was established in 1988 by visionary local women who recognized the need for such an organization in their community. Today, the club continues this legacy of empowerment and collaboration, providing women in the region with opportunities to engage in substantive dialogue, participate in advocacy efforts, and build lasting friendships with like-minded individuals committed to positive social change.
