Program Highlight:
The  Centennial  Award of  $100,000 will be presented to Working Women Community Centre:  "The Women's Meeting Place"

The Centennial Award of The Rotary Club of Toronto has provided working women with an important space for an underserved group in the city- immigrant women. The Women's Meeting Place will provide immigrant women and their families access to a safe and welcoming place to come together, build skills, and support each other as they settle into the Toronto community.
