The Coloured Women’s Club of Montreal (CWC) was founded on February 7, 1909, by Reverend William Arthur Pearly and a group of influential women from Montreal's African-Canadian community. The club was established to provide a safe and supportive space for African-Canadian women to come together and discuss issues of importance to them and their families.

The club was led by the first president, Mrs. E. Lavinia Louch, who served as president from 1909 to 1920. Under her leadership, the CWC held many meetings, fundraisers and other events to raise awareness of the issues affecting African-Canadian women and their families. The CWC was instrumental in the passage of the 1921 Canadian Bill of Rights, which granted African-Canadians the right to vote in federal elections. The club provided financial assistance to those in need, ran charitable and educational programs, and organized social events such as dances, concerts, and fashion shows. 


The CWC was a part of the larger Coloured Women's Club Movement, which was active in many cities across Canada during the early 20th century.
