2024 Candle Light Vigil
Join us as we mark the beginning of the 16 Days of Activism against Gender-Based Violence with a Candle Light Vigil event at Table Rock Welcome Centre in Niagara Falls Canada. This year’s event will feature keynote speaker Jinisha Bhatt, music by the Strong Water Singers, refreshments and a short walk to the falls with our candles to watch them turn orange as we reflect on this important time of year.
Our Mission
Zonta International is a leading global organization of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy.
Our Vision
Zonta International envisions a world in which women’s rights are recognized as human rights and every woman is able to achieve her full potential. In such a world, women have access to all resources and are represented in decision-making positions on an equal basis with men. In such a world, no woman lives in fear of violence.
What We Do
LOCAL ACTION
Collectively the Zonta Club of Niagara Falls has raised over $600,000 to support many programs and projects to help women in our local community.
