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.

There has been a huge effort in the last decade to improve financial literacy in Canada — from government, non-profits, academia and industry, but still the needle hasn’t moved. What are the most intractable barriers? What are the most promising and exciting solutions? Certainly digital interventions, grounded in cutting edge behavioural science, will be key. Join Canadian Club Toronto on November 4th as we engage in a conversation about the financial challenges Canadians are facing as we emerge from the pandemic, and how better knowledge, insight and behaviour can help address them.
