National Convention 2026
One weekend. Once every three years. Will you be there?
We really want you with us in Montreal.
Our 21st Na’amat Canada Triennial National Convention — Resilience, Renewal and Hope is just over a month away, and we hope you’ll make the decision to be part of it.
October 30 – November 1, 2026 | Montreal
Convention only happens once every three years. It is one of the few opportunities we have to bring Na’amat members from across Canada together in one place — not on Zoom, not by email, but together in person.
It’s a weekend to reconnect with old friends and make new ones.
To share ideas and experiences.
To hear directly about the work we are making possible in Israel.
To learn, laugh, celebrate and be inspired.
And most importantly, it’s a weekend to remind ourselves what it means to be part of Na’amat Canada.
We have planned an exciting program of speakers, discussions, activities and entertainment, culminating in our Banquet Dinner & Installation on Sunday evening.
But a great program is only part of what makes Convention special.
You do.
Every member who attends brings something to the weekend. Your friendship, your ideas, your experiences and your commitment to Na’amat are what turn a program into a true National Convention.
If you’ve been thinking about coming, now is the time to say YES!
Convention Registration: $400
Na’amat Canada members in good standing are eligible for a $250 travel subsidy, helping make it easier for members from across the country to join us in Montreal.

ABOUT US
Since the 1920s, Na'amat has been at the forefront of championing equality, empowering women to work side by side with men, and uplifting families and communities. Originally known as Pioneer Women, our members were in the fields, factories, and communal kitchens—building a better future for women in Israel, even before the state was founded.
Golda Meir, one of our earliest leaders, embodied the courage and vision that continues to inspire Na'amat today. The name Na'amat—an acronym in Hebrew for the Movement of Working Women and Volunteers—reflects our enduring mission to create positive change.
As the largest women’s movement in Israel, Na'amat sets the standard for advancing human rights and social equality. Na’amat Canada’s impact extends beyond Israel, with projects in Canada designed to help women and children. We are part of a sisterhood with eight other countries that share the common Na’amat vision. Join us in building a world where equality, opportunity, and harmony flourish.
OUR WORK
Empowering Children
Daycares | Rhodie Centre | Kanot | Ayanot | Technological High Schools
Infants, toddlers, and teens benefit from the educational services that we support. Children suffering from psychosocial issues, from violence in the family or simply unable to succeed in the regular school system thrive in our special settings.
Empowering Women
Glickman Centre | Legal Bureaus | Women’s Rights | Scholarships
As champions for women, Na’amat is at the forefront of helping women in need by providing refuge from abusive relationships, a hotline for emergency services, legal aid, and university scholarships.
In Canada
School Supplies for Kids | Toiletries | Bursaries | Community Connections
Our signature project in Canada is School Supplies for Kids. Since the program's inception in 1998, Na'amat Canada members in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Ottawa and Toronto have worked tirelessly each year to ensure that thousands of children in domestic violence shelters have the supplies they need to succeed in school.
