ISSUES

Social action has been a fundamental part of the work of CFUW since its inception in 1919.  Ontario Council works within the provincial realm, both assisting Clubs and making our views known to the Province.

Below are issues that are of concern to Ontario Council and may be of interest to you.  The work listed here are briefs and other documentation prepared by members of CFUW/Ontario Council. You will also find links to some Advocacy tools.
