We believe in making the world a better place by empowering women & making a difference in the lives of women and girls
in Brampton-Caledon and around the globe.
The word Zonta, signifying honest and trustworthy in the Teton dialect of the Sioux, an Amerindian group, was chosen by the women who founded the Confederation of Zonta Clubs in 1919.
The emblem that evolved thereafter draws from several Sioux symbols, blending the individual elements to embrace the goals and objectives of Zontians: “a group of people inspired by the common goals of community service, banded together to achieve a framework of loyalty, honesty and trustworthiness”
The Zonta Club of Brampton-Caledon was chartered in November 1974 & continues to provide service to our community. The rewards of membership in Zonta International and the Zonta Club of Brampton–Caledon are far reaching: Service, Networking and Fellowship, Diversity, Leadership, Advancement of Women, Education, International Interaction and Travel.
