Join Us
Membership is open to all women who support the purposes of CFUW. It is not limited to university graduates. Our dynamic group consists of women from various backgrounds, education, and interests.
Your membership strengthens our voice when we advocate for change. You may participate in the group as much or as little as you want, knowing that your support is helping to foster social justice.
Our membership year runs from July 1 – June 30. Dues support the operation of the club as well as the CFUW National organization.
Our meetings are held monthly, the second Monday of the month unless otherwise noted, at 7 pm at the Qualicum Beach Civic Centre (QCC) or the MacMillan Arts Centre (MAC) in Parksville. Please check the Calendar for dates and locations, and for our list of upcoming speakers.

Today is the National Awareness of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Day. Indigenous women are 10x more likely to go missing- often without amber alerts, searches or investigations. We all have the responsibility to learn more about what we can do about this National crisis.
This painting Alex created has a very spiritual aura about it, it flows and the light strokes brings it to life. This painting is part of our family collection- but we thought we’d share for awareness.
Wind River(2017) and the series Alaska Daily are great places to start. The more we know, the more we can create positive change for future generations. I’ll post the Wiki link in the comments.
