The Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Vernon is the local chapter of CFUW, a federal organization that welcomes ALL women who support its purposes, mission, and values. Since its founding in 1919, CFUW has been working to improve the status of women and to promote human rights, public education, social justice, and peace.

At the local level, we work to support and advocate for women’s rights. We encourage life-long learning for ourselves and for others and we aim to have fun in the process. Non-members are welcome to join us at an event or two while considering membership. Check out our events and activities page.
