Interest Groups


Interest Groups form a very important part of our club, allowing us to interact with a smaller group of members who share a common focus.  They reflect the diverse interests of our members and range from art to gourmet cooking to hiking and golf.  A new interest group can be formed if there is interest expressed by at least four members.

Contact cfuwoakville@yahoo.ca for more information or to obtain Interest Group Convenor contact information.
