The Women's Institute works to
Initiate Programs to Strengthen Families and Communities
We promote good family life skills through programs on family and consumer affairs and support projects such as recycling, improving parenting skills and encouraging responsible citizenship.
Interpret and Record Local History
We have been officially recording community histories in our Tweedsmuir History Books since 1947. Our Members also work with museums, libraries and schools. As of March 31, 2016, there is now an online platform to allow the public to access the many documents the Women’s Institutes have created across the province, while the original documents remain within their communities.
Share Fun and Friendship
We enjoy speakers at monthly meetings, as well as crafts, physical activities and tours, both at home and around the world.
Advocate for Change, Resolutions, Briefs and Letters
We stay informed of current legislation and discuss laws that affect the lives of our Members and their families. We have been staunch advocates for the pasteurization of milk and continue to appeal for improved life skills training in our school systems.
Develop and Hone Leadership Skills
We educate through workshops and demonstrations that provide personal growth opportunities for our Members.
Identify and Act on Local, National and Global Issues
WI initiates and participates in projects on agriculture, industry and education. We also work to revitalize community spirit, lobby for safer, healthier communities and study international affairs, customs and issues.
Share a Voice with Women around the World
Through our connections with the Federated Women’s Institutes of Canada (FWIC) and the Associated Country Women of the World (ACWW), we belong to a global sisterhood of women working to improve the quality of life for all women, their families and communities.
