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.

The Path Forward: Indigenous Participation and Project Development in Canada Oct 22, 2025

Show notes

Indigenous economic participation in major infrastructure projects across Canada not only helps get projects built, but also advances reconciliation. Earlier this year, 38 First Nations became minority owners in a major natural gas pipeline system in B.C.—the largest Indigenous equity partnership in Canadian history. This landmark transaction of $736 million was made possible by a $400-million loan guarantee from the Government of Canada through the Canada Development Investment Corporation. It marked the first time the federal government issued such a guarantee to support Indigenous equity participation in a major operating natural gas pipeline system. Join Canadian Club Toronto on October 22 to hear directly from those who helped bring this complex agreement to life. The discussion will explore how a major Canadian energy company, 38 First Nations, and the Government of Canada came together to make it happen—and what lessons can guide future projects that advance Indigenous economic reconciliation and enable Indigenous Peoples to have a greater stake in Canada’s economic growth. The conversation will be moderated by Cherie Brant, Partner & National Leader of Indigenous Law at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP, with panelists: Cynthia Hansen – Executive Vice President and President, Gas Transmission and Midstream, Enbridge Justin Napoleon – Board Director, Stonelasec8 Indigenous Alliance Limited Partnership Elizabeth Wademan – President and CEO, Canada Development Investment Corporation
