- Nickels for the North
This initiative was introduced at the Provincial Convention 2010 to support our CWL sisters in the Mackenzie-Fort Smith Diocese with their travel to conventions and workshops. Every council in Alberta Mackenzie is invited to consider working with the provincial council to raise funds to help CWL members in the Northwest Territories travel to CWL events. Please forward your donation with the remittance form above. - March for Life
The National March for Life is organized by Campaign Life Coalition. Pro-lifers rally in front of our Parliament building and march through downtown Ottawa, demanding that our political representatives fight for the right to life of every human being. In addition to the Ottawa event, many provinces also hold regional Marches for Life at their provincial legislatures. Source: https://marchforlife.ca
The Voluntary fund to support "March for Life" was instituted at the 2019 Provincial Convention in Grande Prairie.

- General Liability Insurance: Liability insurance is necessary for parish councils to provide protection in the event of an accident. Premiums are only $0.50 per member and are collected from parish councils. When remitting per capita fees to national office, insurance premiums will also be collected. For parish councils that submit payments electronically, insurance premiums will be automatically withdrawn upon successful completion of an electronic per capita remittance.
Enrollment in the parish liability insurance program is mandatory and parish councils must remit the premiums with their per capita fees. The League can keep premiums low by having all parish councils participate in the program. Contact National Office for details on the policy coverage.
