The University Women's Club of Peterborough adopted a new name on 26 February 1991 and became the Canadian Federation of University Women Peterborough Club. At that time they adopted a new constitution. The University Women's Club of Peterborough was founded in March 1937 as a member club of the Canadian Federation of University Women. The International Federation of University Women was founded in Europe in the Spring of 1919. On their return to Canada, delegates to that meeting from University Women's Clubs in Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Winnipeg and other Canadian cities met again in August 1919 to create the Canadian Federation of University Women, with Mrs. Margaret Stovel McWilliams of the Winnipeg Club as President. The Canadian organization's aims were to promote the highest standards of education at all levels, to encourage participation in public affairs in the political, economical and cultural fields, and to safeguard and improve the economic, legal and professional status of women in Canada and the World. The International Federation of University Women aims to promote understanding among women of different cultures. There are Member Federations of the IFUW throughout the world and member Clubs of CFUW in all parts of Canada.

Hey 2010 Reunion Committee, what a fantastic reunion event!!!! Thanks for all the hard work for the past two years and your dedication to making the whole weekend happen. I have heard nothing but good things. Thanks for much again! – Judi
Thank you
Congratulations on a fabulous weekend. It was so much fun to reconnect with old classmates ( I know I am not supposed to use that word even tho it may be the most fitting). I wanted all to know that I appreciated all the hours that were put into the event. Thank you for making the 50th reunion a wonderful weekend. – Meredith
Wonderful
What a splendid reunion! It was wonderful connecting with old friends…both from VMC and from elsewhere. My parents moved out of Fort Garry in 1966…and I left Winnipeg on 1974…so there were many people I had not seen for 40 years. Special – Gord
I love coming home
The 40th reunion was wonderful; the 50th reunion was magical; It was so great to be able to meet our old school friends once again. Many whom, no longer live in Winnipeg. We were friends 30 years ago and are still friends now!! – Derek
