WELCOME to St. Martin Council of the
Catholic Women's League of Canada
Our
council has been in existence since 1945 when a small group of young
women united to offer mutual support and involve themselves in the
issues affecting their families, church, and community. We are proud to
claim that some of those charter members are now celebrating over 60
years of membership in our council!
Our local council currently boasts over 80 members continung to work
for "God and Canada". Nationally, http://www.cwl.ca/, we stand with over 99,000 other CWL
members when addressing such important issues as euthanasia and
assisted suicide, trafficking of children, protection of water
resources, elder abuse, and more.
Closer to home, we offer our assistance within the parish community and fundraise to support many valuable causes, such as:
Oliver Food Bank
Okanagan Gleaners
Development and Peace
Leprosy Relief
Transition House
Hogar Belen Orphanage in Peru
MaterCare
Save a Family Plan
SOSS Graduate
and many more.
