SNOW was established under the auspices of ICCC (Indo-Canadian Community Centre Inc.) in Ottawa, Canada, in 2010, by a group of like-minded women.
SNOW undertakes charitable activities and programs. These contribute to the enhancement of the quality of life for women, children, and families.
SNOW has grown to become a dynamic organization. Women meet there to interact, and engage in dialogue on social, ethical, and contemporary issues affecting women.
SNOW is a non-partisan, secular organization and membership is open to all women who support its mission.
WHAT WE DO
Since its inception, SNOW has focused its discussions, meetings, and programming on various issues. These include the prevention of violence against women, and the promotion of women’s mental health and social well-being. Additionally, women’s health issues, like heart health and nutrition, are addressed.
