World YWCA and international YWCAs

YWCA Metro Vancouver and YWCA of Canada both maintain a relationship with the World YWCA located in Geneva, Switzerland, as well as with local associations globally. This is accomplished via: participation in World Councils held every four years; YWCA Metro Vancouver’s receipt of newsletters, reports, and other publications by both the World YWCA and by national or local YWCA associations; and communications between YWCA Metro Vancouver and local YWCAs from outside of Canada. From 1969 to 1986, YWCA Metro Vancouver also engaged with the World YWCA via the Y’s Owl Shop, a craft group of YWCA Metro Vancouver that raised funds for the World YWCA.

Records consist of annual reports, Council reports, occasional reports, publications, newsletters, correspondence, and other materials arising from YWCA Metro Vancouver’s and the YWCA of Canada’s interactions with the World YWCA and with national and local YWCAs outside of Canada. Material arising from interactions between the World YWCA and YMCAs is also kept in this subseries.
