      The Northwestern Ontario Women’s Decade Council (NOWDC) was a feminist organization formed in 1976 to carry on the work begun by the Northwestern Ontario International Women’s Year Co-ordinating Council. The Decade Council was based in Thunder Bay.

They also provided technical assistance and resources to emerging women’s groups and to individual women working on women’s issues. This support was provided by a non-partisan volunteer-based organization composed of representatives of district women’s groups as well as individuals, serving communities of Kenora, Sioux Lookout/Hudson, Dryden, Red Lake, Atikokan, Marathon, Manitouwadge, Nipignon, Terrace Bay, Thunder Bay and surrounding townships, Geraldton and Big Trout Lake.
