2021 GFWC Annual Convention

The 2021 GFWC Annual Convention will take place at the Sheraton Centre Toronto, less than 0.2 of a kilometer or “click” from the striking Toronto City Hall and the PATH underground pedestrian walkway and shopping mall. Toronto, one of the world’s most diverse cities, is the perfect place for Convention given the launch of GFWC’s five new Community Service Program areas: Arts and Culture, Civic Engagement and Outreach, Environment, Education and Libraries, and Health and Wellness.
Registration will open March 1. Check back regularly for updates!
