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.

What can Canadians expect in 2020? Will the US continue to inch towards legalization with 11 states now having some form of legal product? Join Canadian Club Toronto on March 3 when Rami Chalabi (McCarthy Tétrault), Christelle Gedeon (Aphria Inc.), Rishi Malkani (Deloitte) and Andrew Pucher (Tilray) join us to cut through the hype and share their unique insights and expertise on all things cannabis.

Join Canadian Club Toronto on February 24 when we host Kevin Au-Yeung (Nobis), Todd Winterhalt (EDC), Martha Harrison (McCarthy Tetrault) and Hilton Ngo (Levelwear) to discuss the successes, challenges and trends in getting Canadian goods exported and sold.
