Our Location
Good news for URJI Women Support Association of Edmonton
It has been a journey but we have just signed a lease on a new space which we believe will meet our needs now and into the future. We plan to do some simple renovations and we are still working with the insurance company to replace damaged items and retrieve everything that could be saved
URJI Women is now settling into 9703 – 108 Avenue, T5H 4R9. The building is called Grand Manor. Our door is on the ground floor and opens onto the street. We have 1200 SF with a large open area, a small kitchen, a bathroom, and several smaller spaces. We are excited to get back to offering programs and welcoming everyone in. Parking is available on the street.
Urji Women Support Association of Edmonton is excited to announce a new initiative!
We have recognized and are concerned about the number of women who cannot drive. Driving is an essential skill in Edmonton. This skill offers mobility, safety, convenience, freedom, flexibility, and timesaving.
We have submitted applications for funding support for driving lessons. The average cost is $1000 per person, including classroom and driving instruction. Anyone wiling to sponsor a Woman for driving classes, please contact Iftu at 557-568-8458.
We are primarily looking for volunteers to be practice “buddies” for individuals taking driving lessons. If you can spare a couple of hours per week, please contact us and we will provide information on a woman just learning to drive. You need only have a drivers license, a clean driving history, comfort in having a beginner drive you and confidence in your ability to provide driving guidance. Again, please contact Iftu at 557-568-8458.
