THE MONTREAL COUNCIL OF WOMEN INFORMING OURSELVES SINCE 1893
Description edit
Founded in 1893, the Montreal Council of Women is a non-partisan, non-confessional federation that brings together 60 voluntary organizations and more than 100 individual members from Montreal and the surrounding region. The combined membership of about 50,000 women and men supports our aim to work to improve social conditions, especially as they affect women and children.
The Council is affiliated with the National Council of Women of Canada. The Canadian Council is one of 74 affiliates of the International Council of Women, which has Category 1 Consultative Status at the United Nations (ECOSOC).
As an association, the Council prides itself on the ability to bring people of different backgrounds together in an atmosphere of mutual respect and tolerance. The common desire to improve the quality of life for all has been a fundamental concern for 100 years, with each member doing her utmost to be respectful and tolerant of a changing world.
