Our Club: CFUW Leaside – East York

We are a local CFUW Club that formed in 1955 when Leaside and East York were separate jurisdictions. Later, the town of Leaside joined East York, but we maintained our Club name, which reflects our heritage. Our Club Banner portrays the Leaside Bridge which spans the Don River Valley, representing the connection of our local communities.

We have a membership of approximately 75 women, including members living beyond East York. New members are always welcome. We support CFUW’s aims and objectives of advocacy for education, the rights of women and the participation of women in public affairs.

We offer opportunities for our members to learn and socialize. Monthly meetings include a Program of invited guest speakers and covers a range of topics. Interest Groups and other activities keep members engaged.
