The Centre
History
Founded in 1973, the Women's Centre of Montréal was at its outset a mere information and referral centre for women. Concerned with the changing and specific needs of the Montreal area female population, it developed over the years a variety of services and broadened the scope of its activities to respond as effectively as possible to the specific and everchanging needs of Quebec-born women and women of cultural communities.
One of the initial women’s groups to settle in Montreal, the Women's Centre of Montréal has grown and evolved over the years to become what it is today, an exclusive resource towards which more than half a million women haved turned, to empower themselves with the tools necessary to achieve self-sufficiency and lead productive and fulfilling lives.
In its role as pioneer, this grass-roots organization continues year after year to make a significant difference in the lives of thousands of Montreal women and their families, its status being recognized at the local, provincial, national and even international level.
