MISSION

WCAPS Canada aims to create a coalition of women leaders of color and bring together voices from Indigenous communities to refugees and their allies to advocate for peace and security in Canada and abroad. We seek to empower our members and provide support and mentor women leaders, and build bridges between these two actors. The Chapter will celebrate Canada's diversity while addressing injustices in Canada and internationally.
