Twinning in Ontario

When a Member Organization of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts form a partnership with another Member Organization to share skills, friendship and support to learn about each other’s country and culture, it is called “Twinning”.

Girl Guides of Canada, Ontario Council supports the Twinning Projects established by the National Council. This year and through to 2009, the twinning project is with the Commonwealth of Dominica.
