BC Council's mandate is to promote education and lifelong learning, to encourage the participation of members in their communities and to enhance the status of women and girls. Active since 1988, we promote, engage and connect CFUW BC clubs with provincial, national and international activities to improve the lives of women and girls across BC and beyond. CFUW has 19 active BC clubs across 3 regions: Vancouver Island, BC West and BC Interior. Three CFUW Regional Directors sit on the BC Council and also work to link clubs in their region with the CFUW National Board of Directors.
