CFUW North Vancouver holds regular monthly meetings from September to June. Monthly meetings usually have a featured guest speaker and a short business meeting. Guests are always welcome at our speaker events. Contact us using by email at: cfuw.nv2@gmail.com. General meetings are held online via Zoom or when in person, at the Royal Canadian Legion, 123 15th Street, North Vancouver.
Since the relaxing of COVID restrictions club events are more often in person but some meetings are still being held online via Zoom. At certain times of the year the format changes: March – discussion of resolutions being proposed for our annual national meetings and conference; June – end of season dinner and celebration; September – a lunch meeting; December – a seasonal celebration, potluck dinner and silent auction. We also generally hold one major fundraising event: usually a theatre night in spring. In the summer members usually get together for a picnic at a local park at some time.

SPECIAL EVENT: EARTH DAY INVITATION
Sponsored by CFUW West Vancouver in recognition of Earth Day 2024, this is your Invitation to attend our Youth Climate Action Forum taking place on Monday, April 15, 2024, from 7:00 to 9:00pm at the Kiwanis Great Hall, 975 21st Street West Vancouver.
You will hear from a panel of passionate young people about important issues in our world today that are contributing to the climate crisis as well as those issues that are impacted by climate change. Our Panelists will share why taking action is necessary, what the future might look like and how we all can be involved in the solutions.
Our Panelists are: Ulwiana Mehta-Malhotra, Lia Che and Jin Chen, Isabel Rodriguez Rojas, and Eva Grdina. The students attend either West Vancouver’s Mulgrave School or the University of British Columbia.
They will cover topics such as: Fast Fashion – a detrimental footprint but with positive industry innovation, Food Security and Waste, Environmental Change and its impact on wildlife species and Dietary Choices and the Health of the Planet. Q&A Periods will follow the panel discussion.
This is a free Community Event to hear, recognize and support the interests of our Youth in Climate Change.
April 11, 7:00 pm Our speaker for Thursday, April 11th in person meeting is Kirsty Gordon from the Elizabeth Fry Society. She will speak to us about work of this progressive support system for women who have found or presently find themselves in conflict with the law. She will describe the extremely varied role that they play in helping incarcerated women and their families.
