Status of Women Committee | OSSTF York Region

Who We Are

The Status of Women Committee (SWC) advocates for all women and women-identified members of OSSTF by providing support and education on local, provincial and global issues affecting women. Promotes women to be leaders, mentors and role models who strive towards making our work environment inclusive, safe, and equitable.

Winter Warmth

Annually, OSSTF D16 T/OT raises funds to support the Women’s Center of York Region with their Winter Warmth Program. The fundraiser provides tangible support to help women experiencing violence and poverty by providing the items they need to survive the winter months and a bit extra to celebrate the holidays with their children. Through Winter Warmth, women receive gift cards, stockings for children, pampered pillowcases for the moms, and small gifts for the children.
