Are you looking for a deep discount on books published in the last few years, in very good condition? CFUW Saanich Peninsula has an excellent place for you to do your shopping. That would be Friday May 23, 2025 from 1:30pm to 5:00 pm at Sidney’s Mary Winspear Centre. Proceeds support scholarships and educational opportunities for Peninsula students.
The Annual Sale
Scholarships for graduating seniors from Peninsula high schools are a key part of CFUW Saanich Peninsula’s mandate. Says President Fiona St. Clair, “Since supporting and enabling women’s education is one of our primary purposes, the funds raised from our annual book sales are central to what we do and very much needed to funding our Education Trust Fun, which manages the scholarships and grants that we provide to high school, college and university women each year.”
As member and well-known author Lorna Crozier says, “If you have a book in your hands, no matter your age, you’re a life-long learner. When you buy one of our books, you get the pleasure of a good read and then, you pass that pleasure on by supporting a student. Her life will be enriched by what she also discovers in the pages of a book in her classes this fall. And long after. Book to book to book, and so the learning continues and grows.” Crozier is the author of 25 books and an Officer of the Order of Canada.
