For over 125 years Women’s Institute (WI) Members have actively worked together for family home community and country. The objective of the first Women’s Institute Branch formed in Stoney Creek on February 19 1897 was to improve women’s skills in the art of homemaking and childcare. The Federated Women’s Institutes of Ontario (FWIO) was organized in 1919 giving Members a stronger voice by working together as a united group. Through education and support programs and services FWIO’s original focus expanded to include personal growth opportunities and health and community wellness projects. Our most notable initiative the ROSE (Reaching Ontario Sharing Education) Program encourages our Branches to help increase awareness and expand the skill sets of both WI Members and people in their communities. As a result each year thousands of individuals become more knowledgeable on various social health domestic and environmental matters through their participation in ROSE Sessions. Today FWIO has approximately 2 000 Members in 184 Branches across Ontario.
