Founded in 2018, Simcoe County Section gives a diverse group of women, living across Simcoe County, an opportunity to get together socially and by identifying unmet needs, the ability to give back to their local community.
Past Achievements include creating a library in the Barrie Women’s and Children’s shelter, addressing food insecurity through an ongoing partnership with the Barrie Food Bank, raising awareness of trafficking in human persons and partnering with the Canadian Federation of University Women for International Women’s Day.
Our current programs include:
- A monthly online book club
- A monthly lunch meet-up
- Periodic ladies’ night out
- Crochet/knitting evenings to make baby blankets and toques to send to Israel for IDF soldiers serving and new mom’s whose partners are not available to give support
- Mitzvah Day, an annual event that mobilizes our volunteers to address social justice through social action.
- An annual games day fundraiser
- Collaboration with numerous community partners on zoom and in person to engage and educate our members, volunteers and the community at large about important social issues impacting community.
