Grandmothers' Groups
At the launch of the Grandmothers to Grandmothers campaign in March 2006, only a handful of grandmothers' groups existed. Today, there are well over 100 groups across Canada, from British Columbia to Prince Edward Island, with many still in the process of forming. Groups have also formed in Australia, New Zealand and the United States.
If you would like to join an existing group or would like to start one in your community, please contact Julie Coultas for more information by phone (416-533-9292 ext. 234) or by e-mail (campaign@stephenlewisfoundation.org).
Click on the province name to view the grandmothers' groups in each area: Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, New Brunswick, Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, Ontario, Prince Edward Island, Quebec, Saskatchewan.
Grandmothers groups have also formed in the United States and internationally.
