History
The Kitchener-Waterloo Council of Friendship was formed as a separate group in 1943. Its beginnings were in the International Club of the Kitchener-Waterloo YWCA headed by Mrs. W.P. Clement. Its membership was made up of Canadians, other national groups, community groups, service clubs, and women's organizations. Minnie Maines was part of the Executive Committee.
The Council offered language classes, a scholarship fund, special events, and other activities.
