The Northwestern Ontario Women's Centre is celebrating 50 YEARS of feminist organizing and advocacy -- and we need your help to do it!

Since 1973, NOWC has worked to improve women's safety and access to justice. As an equality-seeking, social justice informed and intersectional feminist organization, run by and for women in the Thunder Bay area, we have engaged in community outreach and public education efforts, advocated for systemic change, and provided a safe space for all self-identified women to gather.  You can learn more about past and current projects on our websites: nwowomenscentre.org actiontoanalysisgbv.org and GoodFoodBoxtb.org

We have realized many of our 50th Anniversary plans: created a 50th anniversary logo, printed anniversary t-shirts, published a zine chronicling our herstory, held a dinner to honour the volunteer service of long-standing board members past & present. And, hosted a "dry" dance and silent auction open to the public. We rely entirely on unrestricted revenue sources like fundraising and donations for these anniversary programs.

For 50 years, the Women's Centre has continued to act as a meeting place and catalyst for feminist organizing and women-led efforts. If you have the means, please consider supporting our fundraising efforts! We welcome donations of any amount. Contact Lori at admin@nwowc.org to find out how you can learn more about our anniversary plans and join us in the celebration!

Please consider earmarking your one-time or monthly donation to this campaign which will run until December, 2023!
