Who we are

CFUW 1957

Our History

CFUW Stratford was founded in 1954 with an initial group of 30 women. These women fought for access to post secondary education for all women. Today, we welcome all women in and around Stratford, those with a university or college degree as well as women who have followed less traditional career paths, who share the CFUW goals.

Our Meetings

Meetings are held monthly September to May, and include guest speaker presentations. Topics are diverse, current, educational and thought-provoking.

Our Newsletter

Read up on the latest happenings. Our newsletters will be sent out the second Friday of the month, a week before our general meetings.
