CFUW-Ottawa is committed to finding ways to keep our members connected. We also recognize the varying comfort levels of our members regarding in-person meetings.

"CFUW-Ottawa will be following the Provincial and Public Health COVID Guidelines. Please do not show up in person to any event should you be ill or have been in close contact with someone with COVID within the previous five days. Each Interest Group that meets in-person, in members homes, is recommended to make a group decision on any restrictions. Our primary goal is safety for you, our members."

Due to the uncertainty surrounding public gatherings, it is important to regularly check this website for updated information and also to contact group convenors. Some groups may meet online but some may not, and some may be put on hold. Click here for a link to information for the various groups.
