Canadian Federation of University Women Day Proclaimed in Saskatchewan

Released on September 12, 2014

The provincial government has proclaimed September 14, 2014 as Canadian Federation of University Women (CFUW) Day in Saskatchewan. 

Founded in 1919, the CFUW is a voluntary, self-funded non-partisan organization with 110 clubs across Canada, including five in Saskatchewan.  Committed to improving the status of girls and women, the CFUW promotes education, peace and human rights.  CFUW is the largest of the 79 affiliates of the International Federation of University Women (IFUW).  CFUW Day was first declared by the Government of Saskatchewan in 2011.

“The Government of Saskatchewan is proud to recognize the work that the CFUW does to promote post-secondary education to women,” Advanced Education Minister Kevin Doherty said.  “I applaud the CFUW efforts to encourage girls and women to take advantage of the educational opportunities available in Saskatchewan.”

“The priority CFUW places on higher education as an effective way to achieve equality is clearly demonstrated by the sixty per cent employment rate for women with post-secondary education among Saskatchewan’s working women,” Social Services Minister and Minister responsible for the Status of Women Donna Harpauer said.  “I am pleased to recognize the more than 200 dedicated CFUW members in Saskatchewan who are ensuring that education is a possibility for all women and helping to build a better quality of life for all Saskatchewan people.”

The CFUW Saskatchewan Council provides approximately $40,000 in scholarships to university, college and high school students, as well as grants to music and science festivals, early learning centres and other local projects.  Students can learn more about the scholarship opportunities through their school or post-secondary institution.  Grant information can be obtained from local schools, music festival committees or science fair organizers.
