Celebratinng 75 years in Subury
The Sudbury chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) celebrates its 75th anniversary this year.
Established in 1948, its first president was Grace Hartman, who became the city's first female mayor in 1966.
One hundred years ago, when the national organization was started to promote higher education for women, it was a radical and unpopular idea. And while women have come a long way, there is still work to do. The organization also champions women's and children's health issues, diversity and environmental concerns.
While CFUW has a serious mission, which involves raising money for scholarships for young women, it is also a lively and curious collective that provides life-long learning opportunities, as well as a chance to meet other like-minded women and have a lot of fun.

What We OfferCFUW Sudbury offers something for all women - a chance to socialize, to develop personally, to contribute to the community and learn about advocacy and human rights. CFUW has played a critical role in women’s issues in Canada for over ninety years. CFUW welcomes all women and female students who support our mission and values. There are a wide variety of Interest Groups for members to join (book clubs, wine tasting, dining, pole walking, horticulture, film, et cetera). One of our major initiatives is the annual disbursement of awards in support of deserving women who are pursuing higher education in Sudbury.

A Special Gift
Are you looking for a special way to celebrate an occasion? Consider the gift of education, a donation to the CFUW Sudbury Charitable Trust. See 'Scholarships and Bursaries'
Maintaining a Healthy Charitable Trust (from CFUW National)
Contributions to the Charitable Trust (CT) are critical to maintaining the ability of CFUW Charitable Trust to continue its important role in our Fellowships program. There are a number of ways member and Clubs contribute to this. We very much appreciate all of the help we have received over the years. Some of the ways you can assist us in maintaining a healthy Trust are your contributions to the Boutique at the Annual General Meeting (many thanks); the lunch/breakfast at the AGM (please join us this year); purchasing our lovely celebration and Christmas cards (available at the AGM) ; Club contributions; and, of course, direct contributions on our website (http://cfuwcharitabletrust.ca/).
We have been very fortunate that some Clubs, when they have had a change in circumstance, have made special arrangements with the CT. In March 2015, the Education Council-Wolfville transferred the proceeds of their education fund to the CFUW Charitable Trust to establish a new award, the CFUW Aboriginal Women's Award (AWA).

Indigenous Land Acknowledgment
We gather on the lands of the Robinson-Huron Treaty, in the traditional territory of the Atikameksheng Anishinabek and that the City of Greater Sudbury also includes the traditional lands of the Wahnapitae First Nations. We recognize and deeply appreciate their historic connection to this place. We also recognize the contributions made by the Métis, Inuit and other Indigenous people, both in shaping and strengthening this community, our province and country as a whole. As settlers, this recognition of the contributions and historic importance of Indigenous peoples must also be clearly and overtly connected to our collective commitment to make the promise and the challenge of Truth and Reconciliation real in our communities.
