Canadian Club of Toronto — News
Canadian Club of Toronto

The Canadian Club of Toronto is Canada’s preeminent public affairs podium. Since 1897, we have served an ambitious and important mission: to connect Canadians with world-class leaders and newsmakers and be a leading platform for influencers to engage Canadians on what matters most.

Over our 125 year history as a not-for-profit organization, we continue to be a forum for Governors General and Prime Ministers, CEOs and Nobel laureates, scientists, artists and innovators. We have a proud tradition of hosting national and international leaders in politics, business, social innovation and the media, and our members and audiences are drawn from an equally diverse and distinguished group of leaders.

The Canadian Club addresses routinely generate national coverage across multiple platforms. In addition to reported media coverage and our in-person audience of several hundred people, we make our programming accessible to all Canadians through broadcasts on cable television and webcasts, available online.

Events run between September and June in downtown Toronto. As an independent, non-profit organization, we make all our events open to the public. Tickets can be purchased online or through our office at 416-364-5590.

2010 Inaugural Gilda’s Awards Jun 11, 2010

Show notes

Please join us on Friday, June 11th when Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto recognizes Jeanne Beker, Host/Segment Producer, FT-FashionTelevision & FashionTelevisionChannel, David Daniels, Principal at Daniels Capital Group and Sustainable.TO and Colin Mochrie, Scottish Canadian actor and improvisational comedian in the 2010 Inaugural Gilda’s Awards. Conversation Moderated by: CTV’S Sandie Rinaldo The Gilda’s Awards were created to recognize those who have shown leadership in forwarding the need for supportive community care through involvement in health, the arts, fundraising, politics or media. Recipients have also directly supported Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto or have helped create awareness about the support needed by those facing cancer. Gilda’s Club is named for comedienne Gilda Radner, who died of ovarian cancer in 1986. While in treatment in the mid-’80s, Gilda visited a cancer support community in Los Angeles where she found others going through experiences similar to hers. She drew strength and comfort from the supportiveness this provided. It was Gilda’s dream that thousands of such support communities be available to anyone touched by cancer. Shortly after Gilda’s death, that dream was realized and the first Gilda’s Club opened in New York City. Free of charge, Gilda’s Club offers support and networking groups, lectures, workshops and social activities to men, women, teens and children living with cancer, along with their families and friends. Gilda’s Club Greater Toronto opened its signature red doors in 2001 in the historic Old Fire hall on Lombard Street in downtown Toronto. The building was beautifully renovated and provides a warm and welcoming environment complete with spacious community rooms, comfortable wellness rooms, a resource centre, a teen room and “Noogieland” – a fun and cheerful play space for children.
