Welcome

Thank you for visiting the Cranbrook & District Chapter of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW).

What are we about?

We are a Canadian Federation of University Women whose purpose is to support and encourage women of all ages and races.

The Cranbrook Chapter supports local education-based projects, bursaries and scholarships at College of the Rockies and scholarships at Mount Baker Senior Secondary. Also we sponsor the Woman of the Year Award, given to a local woman who advances the education and educational opportunities for women.

We meet usually once a month, in a member's home. Our meetings are informal and friendly, and we always look forward to having visitors, and to welcoming new members. Please feel free to contact anyone on the Contact Information link for more information. We will welcome you to our group and will do our utmost to make you feel comfortable.

Be sure to visit the "local activities" page to find out what we have planned for the coming months.
