Local members looked back on the chapter's accomplishments over the years
The Prince George chapter of CFUW celebrated its 60th Anniversary at a meeting Wednesday held at First Baptist Church with a cake, snacks and presentations from local members and provincial council president Sheila Service.
The members looked back on the chapter's accomplishments over the years, including the creation of Studio Fair, originally October Fair, a juried arts and crafts fair and the publication of Street Names of Prince George-Our History which is now in its fourth edition. CFUW is a self-funded, national organization of more than 6,600 women and 94 clubs located in every province in Canada. Founded in 1919 by 10 female university graduates who wanted to ensure that women had access to education, CFUW members have worked to improve the status of women by promoting public education, human rights, social justice, and peace in Canada and abroad.
CFUW grants more than $1 million a year in scholarships and awards while working to achieve equality and social justice through continuous learning and empowerment.
