Empowering & Connecting Women
Since 1981, the Lennoxville & District Women’s Centre has a specific mandate to empower and connect English-speaking women, girls, and their families in the Estrie region through education, support, and advocacy.
We are a women’s centre in the province that provides services exclusively to the English-speaking minority. Our territory is the 05 administrative region and covers a distance of 80 kilometers in every direction from our location in Lennoxville.

Make the most of Your Charitable Tax Credits!
- By donating to your favorite charity, you may receive as much as 49% of the amount you donated back at tax time.
- You do not have to claim all of the donations you made in the year they were made. When you donate over $200, you are automatically eligible to carry them forward and claim them on your tax return for any of the next five years.
This flexibility means that the unclaimed carry-forward portion may qualify for a larger tax deduction in the future.
