Mission Statement

THE OLDER WOMEN'S NETWORK (OWN) works to achieve a caring society in which older and midlife women have the opportunity to live in security and with dignity; to participate in the choices affecting their lives; to give mutual support and share creative interests and activities; and to realize their potential.

OWN is a VOICE for older and midlife women in our changing, diverse Canadian society; one which challenges discrimination on the basis of age, gender, sexual orientation, race, ethnic origin, religion or disability.

OWN is an EDUCATIONAL ORGANIZATION which embraces a feminist perspective in order to empower women to overcome injustices and inequities in the home, in the workplace and in the larger society.
