BPW Canada Advocacy
BPW Canada’s resolutions reflect issues identified and brought forward by members from across the country. Once adopted at a National Annual General Meeting or Convention, a resolution becomes part of BPW Canada’s official policy and helps guide advocacy, public education and engagement with government.
The Resolutions Database provides access to BPW Canada’s member-approved policy positions. The collection reflects the
organization’s long-standing commitment to advancing equality, economic security, leadership opportunities, human rights,
health and safety for women and girls.

A resolution establishes BPW Canada’s approved position on an issue and identifies the action the organization is asking
governments or other decision-makers to take.
BPW Canada may use adopted resolutions to support briefs, letters, meetings, public education and other advocacy
initiatives. Because public policy and terminology change over time, historical resolutions should be read within the context
of the year in which they were adopted.
