About
Womanspace Resource Centre
Womanspace Resource Centre is a nonprofit women’s resource centre based in Lethbridge, Alberta.
Welcome to Womanspace Resource Centre
We are dedicated to providing accessible, practical assistance that supports independence, stability, and well-being. Our work focuses on removing everyday barriers, especially those that prevent women from accessing financial benefits, essential identification, and community resources.
Beyond services, Womanspace is a place of respect and belonging.
Our Guiding Values
Empowerment
We believe women are capable and resilient. Our role is to provide the tools, information, and support needed to move forward confidently.
Respect
Every woman who walks through our doors is met with dignity, compassion, and understanding.
Inclusivity
We welcome women from diverse backgrounds and experiences and strive to create a space that feels safe and supportive for all.
Our Mission
Womanspace supports individuals in need through services like tax clinics and ID replacement assistance. By listening to our clients, we create a supportive environment that eases immediate burdens while building long-term confidence. Our goal is to reduce stress, strengthen financial understanding, and equip clients with the tools to navigate complex systems with resilience, while collaborating with partners to build a stronger community.
Our History
Womanspace Resource Centre has served the community since 1993, advancing women’s political, social, and economic equality. It grew from the Alberta Status of Women Action Committee, which focused on raising awareness and empowering through education and support. In response to a need for accessible financial education, Womanspace introduced income tax clinics and ID replacement services, which became core offerings in 2014.
“Rooted in advocacy and care, our history reflects commitment to helping people through skills and community support.”
Our Community Commitment
We acknowledge that we operate on Blackfoot Territory, Treaty 7, and are committed to fostering a space grounded in respect and inclusion.
Womanspace is volunteer-supported and community-driven. We have been supporting women in the Lethbridge community in various capacities for over 30 years. Our programs are made possible by donors, board members, and volunteers who believe in strengthening women and strengthening community.
Whether someone needs help filing taxes, replacing identification, or simply finding direction, we are here to provide steady, practical support.
