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.

“A genuine cri de coeur . . .Who We Are is a citizens’ manifesto for a new and better Canada written by one of the brightest stars of the rising generation.” J.L. Granatstein, author of Who Killed Canadian History? “Who We Are is an eloquent and hard-headed argument for reinventing a shared vision of what it means to be Canadian.” Margaret Wente, author of The Accidental Canadian Please join us on Monday, April 6th when Rudyard Griffiths, Author and Co-Founder of The Dominion Institute discusses his new book, Who We Are: a Citizen’s Manifesto.

Dreaming of a More Prosperous Ontario

In these times of a global financial meltdown, Canadians may feel like the little engine facing an insurmountable hill of problems. How do we compete in a world of giants? How do we stay on track when buffeted by volatility? Saying “I think I can” is no longer enough to get us to the top of that hill. Canada has many of the essential elements needed to prosper, but we lack a coherent strategy to use our assets to their full advantage. Now, more than ever, universities, government and industry need to increase their focus on strategic partnerships, within and across sectors, in order to achieve the critical mass Canada needs to compete globally. Please join us on Monday, March 30th when Heather Munroe-Blum, Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill University, will review Canada’s research landscape, and make recommendations as to how we can build strength in a time of uncertainty. Heather Munroe-Blum became the 16th Principal and Vice-Chancellor of McGill University in 2003. An accomplished scholar in the fields of epidemiology and public policy and a distinguished administrator, Dr. Munroe-Blum is a member of McGill’s Faculty of Medicine and a Professor in the Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. She has dedicated her career to the advancement of higher education, science and innovation, in Canada and internationally, advising governments and other organizations on the role that universities and research play in advancing international competitiveness and enriching societies.
