Our Mission
Zonta International seeks to:
Improve the legal, political, economic, health, educational and professional status of women through
service and advocacy:
The Zonta Club of Oakville has been working in the Halton community for nearly
35 years assisting women and their families. We are a small but vibrant group of
professional women, that work together to help women and children in our community. Some of
the organizations that we have supported are: Wellspring Halton, Halton Women's Centre, SAVIS,
Halton Women's Information Centre, Big Sisters, Ian Anderson Hospice, Kerr Street Ministeries,
Sheridan College and scholarships for young economically challenged and talented women to
continue their education.
Our club does not seek to compete with other service
organizations in the community, we look to enhance, complement or add to the donations/services already
being provided. In order to raise funds and awareness of women's issues, we host several events during the year:
· "PAINT THE TOWN YELLOW" (campaign to celebrate International Women's Day)
"THE ZONTA GOLF CLASSIC" (all women's golf fundraiser for Breast Cancer Services)
Our annual fundraiser TO ASSIST WOMEN VICTIMS OF DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
