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 strong economy requires a healthy workforce. As the Government of Canada works to finish the fight against COVID-19, ensuring Canadians are vaccinated continues to be top priority. At the same time, nearly half of Canadians reported that their mental health worsened during the pandemic. Join Canadian Club Toronto on February 10 when we host the Honourable Seamus O’Regan for a conversation about the government’s plan to support workplace mental health, strengthen Canada’s social safety net, and position Canada for a strong recovery and a low-carbon future. Minister O’Regan will be joined in conversation by Canadian Club Toronto President, David Simmonds. Seamus O’Regan is the Member of Parliament for St. John’s South-Mount Pearl, elected in 2015. In 2021, he was appointed Canada’s Minister of Labour, having served in the roles of Minister of Natural Resources, Minister of Indigenous Services, and Minister of Veterans Affairs and Associate Minister of National Defence. Seamus was born in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and raised in Goose Bay, Labrador. He studied politics at St. Francis Xavier University and University College Dublin, and marketing strategies at the INSEAD Business School, near Paris. He earned his Master of Philosophy degree from the University of Cambridge, studying Indigenous participation in natural resource development. He began his career in the Government of Newfoundland & Labrador, where he served as Executive Assistant to Minister of Justice and Attorney General Edward Roberts, and later as Senior Policy Advisor to Premier Brian Tobin. Seamus is known to many Canadians for his ten years as co-host of CTV’s Canada AM, where he travelled across Canada and around the world, from Random Island to False Creek, and from Antarctica to Afghanistan. In 2007, he became the first journalist named to Canada’s Top 40 Under 40. Seamus is proud to have been an Ambassador for Bell Let’s Talk, eliminating the stigma surrounding mental illness. He has served on the Board of World Wildlife Fund Canada, and continues to champion causes dear to him, including mental health, sustainable jobs, the environment, and the arts. As part of his mandate as Minister of Labour, he is tasked with making mental health a part of occupational health and safety, advancing pay equity, providing Canadians in the federally-regulated private sector with 10 paid sick days, building a federal “right to disconnect,” and lead a comprehensive plan to lower emissions and create more sustainable jobs for Canada’s workers.

The State of Routine Immunizations in Canada Jan 27, 2022

Show notes

As Canada’s media report daily on vaccination and booster rates against COVID-19, there is a less high-profile vaccination story going unreported – the significant drop in the rate of routine immunizations across the country. At a time when public health is at the forefront of the national conversation, we are failing to provide basic protections against critical diseases such as Shingles, Measles & HPV, potentially laying the groundwork for the next public health crisis. The extensive impacts of the pandemic on vaccination rates are clear, with 1 in 4 Canadians missing or delaying a routine vaccination since the beginning of the pandemic. As governments and health systems across the country are continually faced with challenges brought on by the pandemic, this secondary and very preventable public health crisis of missed routine vaccinations needs to be at the forefront of planning – the cost to an over-taxed system is too great to ignore. With new public health measures in place across Canada impacting the daily lives of all Canadians, join Canadian Club Toronto on January 27th when our panel will discuss the need to catch up on routine immunizations with strategies and solutions to increase access and vaccine uptake as we continue to live with and recover from COVID-19. This expert panel will be moderated by André Picard, Health Reporter & Columnist for The Globe & Mail and will feature: Dr. Kelly Grindrod, PharmD, MSc – Associate Professor, School of Pharmacy, University of Waterloo Dr. Jia Hu, MD, FRCPC – Corporate Medical Director and Physician, Cleveland Clinic & CEO and Co-Founder, 19 to Zero Dr. Christine Palmay, MD – Physician, Midtown Health & Wellness Clinic
