The Canadian Federation of University Women – Northumberland luncheon, open to all, is a fundraiser for annual scholarships and bursaries it has been awarding since 1991.

Businesses and corporations are encouraged to make donations to the fund.

Former CFUW-N guest speakers include Anne Sado, president of George Brown College; Joy Kogawa, a decorated Canadian author; Helga Stephenson, award-winning film and media arts personality; and Alia Hogben, executive director of the Canadian Council of Muslim Women.
