The Northern Women’s Centre (NWC) was founded in Thunder Bay in the spring of 1973 following the first Northern Women’s Conference. The centre is still in existence and is now called the Northern Ontario Women’s Centre (NOWC). The Centre has been a hub for organizing, advocacy, training, legal support, and training for women in Thunder Bay and area for decades. The organization was closely linked to both the Northern Women’s Bookstore and Northern Woman’s Journal.
