Historia
"The Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario (BPWCO) was formed as a provincial wing of the Canadian Business and Professional Women's Clubs, itself a charter member of the International Federation. In 1933, the Business and Professional Women's Club of Ottawa (BPWCO), a local branch of the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario, was created. Membership to a local Business and Professional Women's Club allowed access to provincial, national and international membership.
In 1948, the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario (BPWCO) had its first annual provincial conference. It was headed by a board of directors who met before and after the annual meeting. An interim board meeting was held in the fall and the executive began to meet on a more regular basis. In Ontario, the local clubs were grouped in 12 regions, each comprising of a maximum of 12 clubs. Each individual club elected a regional advisor among its membership. Regional advisors acted as a liaison between the board of directors and other clubs, visited the clubs yearly, and encouraged the creation of additional clubs.
In 1970, the Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario (BPWCO) went through a reorganization. Regions were disbanded and the number of districts was increased from four to seven. Changes were also added to the Board of Directors. The number of vice-presidents decreased from four to one and seven district directors were appointed.
The Business and Professional Women's Club of Ottawa and Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario hosted various activities such as contests for career women and Business Women's Week. Both organizations were also involved in lobbying, the creation of scholarships, as well as the presentation of briefs and submissions to government commissions and the United Nations.
The objects of all clubs were quite similar: to encourage equal status for women in economic, civil and political life; to promote the interests of business and professional women; to encourage education and occupational training for girls and women; and to promote cooperation between professional and business women.

En 1933, le Business and Professional Women's Club of Ottawa (BPWCO), branche locale du Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario, est créé. L'adhésion à un Business and Professional Women's Club local permet de devenir membre au niveau provincial, national et international.
En 1948, le Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario (BPWCO) tient sa première conférence provinciale annuelle. Elle est dirigée par un conseil d'administration qui se réunit avant et après l'assemblée annuelle. Une réunion intérimaire du conseil d'administration a lieu à l'automne et le comité exécutif commence à se réunir plus régulièrement. En Ontario, les clubs locaux sont regroupés en 12 régions, chacune comprenant un maximum de 12 clubs. Chaque club élit un conseiller régional parmi ses membres. Les conseillères régionales assurent la liaison entre le conseil d'administration et les autres clubs, rendent visite aux clubs chaque année et encouragent la création de nouveaux clubs.
En 1970, les Business and Professional Women's Clubs of Ontario (BPWCO) se réorganisent. Les régions sont dissoutes et le nombre de districts passe de quatre à sept. Des changements sont également apportés au conseil d'administration. Le nombre de vice-présidents est passé de quatre à un et sept directeurs de district ont été nommés.
Le Business and Professional Women's Club of Ottawa et le Business and Professional Women's Club of Ontario ont organisé diverses activités telles que des concours pour les femmes de carrière et la Semaine des femmes d'affaires. Les deux organisations participent également à des activités de lobbying, à la création de bourses d'études, ainsi qu'à la présentation de mémoires et de soumissions aux commissions gouvernementales et aux Nations Unies.
Les objectifs de tous les clubs sont assez similaires : encourager l'égalité de statut des femmes dans la vie économique, civile et politique ; promouvoir les intérêts des femmes d'affaires et des femmes professionnelles ; encourager l'éducation et la formation professionnelle des filles et des femmes ; et promouvoir la coopération entre les femmes professionnelles et les femmes d'affaires."
