Women’s Group

This program runs on Thursday mornings.

The Greenway-Chaplin Women’s Group is open to all women. This group is an opportunity to get to know new neighbours, and learn new skills. This group began in the spring of 2022 and they met for coffee, explored downtown Cambridge, painted pottery at Play with Clay and held a backyard potluck.

Interested in learning more or joining this group? Hiba Aburaneh is the Special Event Coordinator and leader of this group. You can reach out Hiba through email hibaa@greenwaychaplin.com or call her at Greenway 519-623-4220 (Wednesdays or Thursdays). Join our WhatApp group to learn more about this program.
