Institutes of Canada

The Federated Women's Institutes of Canada, hereafter "WI Canada", is a registered non-profit organization. We are a community-based organization, compromised of representatives from every province with an active Women's Institute branch.

​

The WI Canada Board of Directors consists of elected representatives from across the country. Executive committees are charges of the WI Canada Board and consist of at least one representative and members at large.

​

WI Canada also manages working groups for special projects such as centennial celebrations, heart health, rural childcare, Into the North Food Summit, advocacy at a federal and international level, as well as the running of the Adelaide Hunter Hoodless Homestead, a national historic site in St. George, Ontario.
