About BPW North Toronto
Who Are We
We believe every woman has the power to shape her future, lead with purpose, and change the world and we’re here to make sure she doesn’t have to do it alone.
Who We Are: Connection with Purpose
Where women connect. Where women lead. Where women create change.
BPW North Toronto brings professional women together to build meaningful connections, lasting friendships, and opportunities for leadership and growth.
But we’re more than a networking organization. We’re a community of women who support one another, share experiences, and work together to create meaningful change.
The friendships matter. The connections matter. The leadership opportunities matter. But what makes BPW different is what we do together.
Come for the connections. Stay for the purpose. Lead for the change.
What We Stand For : Advocacy That Matters
We turn conversations into action by championing issues that affect women’s lives, opportunities, and rights.
Our advocacy focuses on creating a more equitable future for women through four important areas:
Equal Pay
Because equal work deserves equal opportunity. We advocate for closing the gender pay gap and advancing economic fairness for women.
Women Leading: Building the Next Generation
Leadership shouldn’t have an age limit.
Through Young BPW, we actively support and develop young women aged 35 and under, creating pathways to leadership at the club, national, and international levels.
We believe every woman deserves the opportunity to develop her confidence, use her voice, strengthen her leadership skills, and help shape the future.
Whether taking the first step into leadership or preparing to take on a bigger role, BPW provides opportunities to learn, contribute, and grow.
From Local Action to Global Impact
Your community is local. Your impact can be global.
BPW North Toronto is part of BPW Canada and BPW International, connecting our local work to a worldwide movement of professional women in more than 100 countries.
What we do here can travel.
A resolution developed by our members can move through the BPW network and reach Parliament Hill. Our delegates can bring Canadian women’s perspectives to the United Nations in New York, including the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW).
The conversations we have locally can become part of national and international advocacy.
We don’t just talk about change. We work for it.
Whatever your background, career stage, or reason for being here — there is a place for you at this table.
