We're part of a world-wide organization...
The Sudbury Club
The Sudbury (Ontario) Club was formed in 1948 with 65 Charter members and has grown to become a 100 plus member organization. We have a history of providing awards to female students, performing outreach to the community and adding our voice to a number of social issues. The Club raises more than $10,000 annually and has donated nearly $200,000 to education and community outreach since it was founded. CFUW Sudbury is one of over 100 clubs in the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW/FCFDU).
CFUW is committed to: the pursuit of knowledge, the promotion of education, the improvement of the status of women and human rights; and active participation in public affairs in a spirit of cooperation and friendship.
CFUW seeks to improve access to education for women, advocates for peace, justice and human rights, and supports programs that improve the environment.
The Sudbury Club has produced two national CFUW Presidents: Margaret Orange and Linda Souter. Both women became involved in IFUW (now known as GWI) at the executive level, with Linda serving as IFUW President in 1998 - 2001.
