Zonta Mississauga is a dedicated group of active women who share their time and talents to assist other women (locally and around the world) to overcome discrimination, poverty and violence. We are part of Zonta International, an organization of 33,000 people in 1200 clubs, in 67 countries – that’s a wonderful connection!

Main Focus
Since it’s chartering in 1966, our Mississauga club has raised over $1.2 million for projects enhancing the status of women in our community and abroad.

Individual Zonta clubs select, fund and participate in community projects which address issues such as women's economic self-sufficiency, legal equality, access to education and health, and eradicating violence.

Meetings
On the first Tuesday of the month, from September to June, you’ll find a lively group of women enjoying stimulating conversation and great food during our meetings at The Glenerin Inn. These meetings focus on fellowship and networking, may include a guest speaker with a focus on women's issues and give members an opportunity to participate in the business of Zonta at local, district and international levels.

Members
Members each contribute a few hours per month to organize and work at club fundraising projects and events. These events serve to return funds to the community through our service projects, scholarships and awards programmes. Some members also attend the exciting Zonta International Convention, held every two years in locations around the world.
