We are announcing the successful recipients of the University Women’s Club of Oakville Scholarship Fund awards and scholarships for 2024.  CFUW-Oakville is pleased to announce scholarships of $24 600 in total to help local students with their educational journey.  These young women were selected from the city’s publicly funded high schools, based on high academic achievement, outstanding community service and demonstrated leadership.

Oakville North-Burlington MP Pam Damoff shone a light on the issue of threats and abuse in politics.  In May she announced she will not seek re-election and cited as factors the toxicity and incivility in politics.  CFUW Oakville advanced our policy intention last year, specifically addressing the need to advocate for ending violence against women in politics.  Pam had been a supportive resource as our advocacy team prepared that resolution. 

A spring dinner is our tradition.  On May 6 CFUW Oakville members gathered to socialize and enjoy musical entertainment at one big meeting that heralds the spring and summer. As members ate dinner at the Oakville Conference Centre, musical entertainment was provided by Valentyn Zadoianov and Irina Samarin of the Two Families Band.
