Welcome to the Canadian Women's Club
About the Club
Today, the CWC has over 200 members and runs activities and events in London
and the Home Counties from an office in the Canadian High Commission, Grosvenor
Square W1.
CWC members range from Canadians who are permanent UK residents to those who
are here only temporarily. We also have a number of non-Canadian members who
have links to Canada and want to keep those links active. We welcome all women
who have an interest in getting together to enjoy Canadian hospitality in the
UK.
The CWC organises a wide range of events and activities to cater to the varied
interests, schedules and lifestyles of our members - from those who work full
time to those who have more flexibility during their day. CWC members enjoy
the opportunity to get together, exchange ideas, broaden horizons and participate
in our wide variety of activities and charitable work.
All our activities are announced to members in our quarterly bulletin (September,
January and April) and in regular email bulletins. These also provide updates
on the Maple Leaf Trust and our charitable activities as well as the events
of our fellow Canadian clubs and organisations in the UK.
The CWC is a member of the Federation of International Women’s Associations
in London (FIWAL) and the Commonwealth Countries League (CCL).

President's Message
 |
December 2009
As 2010 approaches, I would like to reflect upon our Club. In my meetings with other Club Presidents, I have heard about the hardships befalling many organizations this past year. Some have experienced dwindling memberships, discontinued paper communications, suspended directories and had reductions in charitable donations. These are challenging times when Clubs can support each other by being open and extending reciprocal invitations, and by planning in a fiscally responsible way - something that we, as Canadians do very well. |

Perhaps this is the reason I can tell you that our Club is thriving and growing. We continue to welcome new members, we are committed to providing you with enhanced communications and we work very hard to manage our costs with a strong base of volunteers. Most importantly, we hold successful fundraising events which you generously support. Our charitable arm, the Maple Leaf Trust, has expanded its assistance, and we are very proud. Congratulations! We do all this together.
Looking forward, perhaps some of your new year’s resolutions include self-improvement or participating in new experiences? If so join us on some unique Art and Design outings, learn about blogs or discover historic landmarks such as the Royal Automobile Club, St Paul’s Cathedral or Lord’s Cricket Grounds. If you resolve to get fit, why not put on your skates for our party or get walking in the day at Regent’s Park or at night on our literary pub walk. However, our pièce de résistance is an exclusive Buckingham Palace Garden Tour - after two years on a waiting list and for the first time offered to public groups, this is special!
Visit our calendar of events, our blog and decide to come out and meet a wonderful group of women.
Warmly, Teresa ……teresa[at]canadianwomenlondon.org |
