Who we are

For over 125 years women in Ontario have come together under the Women’s Institute umbrella to learn skills, share expertise, celebrate accomplishments, and work for change to make families and communities safer. If you’d like to help organize a local art exhibit, a garden tour, or a chocolate, coffee or wine tasting, we do those things. We also manage craft shows and baking competitions at the local fair. Our fundraising has contributed to hospitals, schools, and volunteer fire departments. We promote lifelong learning through our ROSE program, and we fund scholarships. There is a place for you!

Land Acknowledgement

There are 46 treaties covering the area we now call Ontario. We are thankful to be able to live and work in these territories. We are thankful to the First Nations, Métis and Inuit people who have cared for these lands and continue to share their expertise and wisdom with people and communities across the province.
