The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) announces CALL FOR APPLICATION FOR MEMBERSHIP to NWAC for the province of New Brunswick, (December 19, 2012)

The Native Women’s Association of Canada (NWAC) is a nationally representative political organization comprised of thirteen Provincial Territorial Member Associations (PTMA’s). NWAC’s goal is to enhance, promote and foster the social, economic, cultural, and political well being of Aboriginal women within First Nations, Métis and Canadian societies. The founding of the Native Women’s Association of Canada in 1974 was closely tied to Aboriginal women’s struggle to overcome discriminations inherent in the Indian Act.

NWAC works collaboratively with other Aboriginal women’s organizations to empower Aboriginal women by facilitating their participation in legislative and policy reforms that promote equal opportunity.
