We are a community-based women's organization which aims to respect and reflect the diversity of women. We are run by, and for, women.
We carry out research and initiate policy changes at both the local and provincial level in order to improve the status and further the political, social and economic equality
of women in the community. Our projects assist women and generate resources to further educate the community.
Womanspace has been operating in Lethbridge for over 20 years.

Upcoming Event: “What goes on when the lights go out in the garden?”
We are thrilled to present a dinner fundraiser with CBC Radio’s Lyndon Penner, who has some interesting advice to share with us about plants. Well, not so much about the plants themselves; turn your thoughts toward reproduction with soft lighting and, yes, sex. With a passion for rare & unusual plants as well as a desire to see the world, Lyndon has had the privilege of gardening on three continents.
