CFUW has special consultative status at the United Nations and representation at the Education Committee of the Canadian Commission to UNESCO.
     CFUW Mississauga currently has a membership of approximately 160 women graduates from many different universities and educational institutions. We meet monthly from September to April, generally on the first Monday of each month, at the Huron Park Recreation Centre, 830 Paisley Blvd. W, Mississauga, ON. L5C 3P5.
