Welcome to CHW Ottawa

CHW Ottawa President, Lynn Gillman

Canadian Hadassah-WIZO (CHW) started in Ottawa by Lillian Freiman (z”l) over 100 years ago, and I am truly honoured to be the President of CHW Ottawa Centre. Our fundraising focuses are the same since our founding of Children, Healthcare and Women, and we create profound connections to our projects in Israel and Canada. Also, CHW Ottawa members have also been very active on a national level with many members taking on leadership roles.

CHW Ottawa has one very large and active chapter that meets every month. The meetings often include interesting speakers and activities and over the years the members have created long lasting friendships. 

Our chapter fundraising efforts include annual spring teas and a crafting group within the chapter that makes baby quilts, aprons, shoe and Mahjong bags, as well as other holiday items. We sell these items at events such as the Chanukah Fair held at the JCC. Each year we hold a week of Annual Campaign Telethons that help us reach out to all our supporters. This event takes place in April and May.
