THE UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S CLUB OF TORONTO
A Community of Women in Toronto Who Connect, Learn & Make a Difference
Meet inspiring women, discover new interests, enjoy meaningful experiences and make a difference in your community.
| Welcome to the University Women’s Club of Toronto Founded in 1903 as the first club of its kind in Canada, the University Women’s Club of Toronto is a dynamic community of more than 150 members of all ages, backgrounds, and disciplines. For over a century, we’ve brought women together to connect, learn, and lead — and we’re proud to continue that legacy today. As a social and philanthropic organization, we are committed to advancing the rights of all who identify as women through education, advocacy, and community engagement. We are a member of the Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Ontario Council, a national network that promotes understanding, cooperation, and friendship across differences in race, religion, and political belief. Our members enjoy a wide variety of events and activities, including speaker series, discussion groups, cultural outings, French conversation, bridge, book clubs, and afternoons at the symphony. Whether you're here to build friendships, share ideas, or make a difference — you’ll find a place with us. We’re also deeply committed to giving back. Since 2019, we've awarded over $667,000 in scholarships to support women pursuing post-secondary education in Canada. Our fundraising efforts and charitable giving are central to our mission of empowering future generations. We celebrate diversity and warmly welcome all who identify as female and share our values and vision. |

What our members say |
“Being a part of the UWC community gives me comfort. The wisdom and steadiness of other members remind me to live life to its fullest. It’s from this nourishing place that I feel fully equipped to offer what’s in my heart, in service to the world. I hope to see you here." - Alida Finnie | “What intrigues me about belong to the UWC is the opportunity to hear the stories of so many amazing women whose lives have contributed in diverse ways to the fabric of our society - and I don’t mean just the special speakers that we have, but each member I have encountered." - Leanne Kloppenborg | “For me, the UWC is all about COMMUNITY. Not just being a part of the larger community, which we certainly are, but the value of the community that we, as a group, build and support." - Susan LeRoy | “The UWC is a vast network of women with incredible experiences. I’ve been working on the scholarship team helping bring access to post secondary education to young women living in Toronto. It’s been incredibly rewarding. And a great way to meet other women interested in and passionate about creating an engaged city." -Talisha Ramsaroop |
