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.

According to CAMH, 1 in 5 Canadians are struggling with mental illnesses right now. By the age of 40, fifty per cent of us will have experienced it first-hand. As a community, we have an opportunity to educate ourselves not only about the realities of mental health illness, but of the resources and support available that are making a difference. We can all benefit from an understanding of what we can do together to advance mental health and well-being in the places we work, live and play. With a focus on youth resources, this panel will explore what supports currently exist, where we are building and innovating and what we need to do to plan and build capacity to help the youth of the future.

Canada is fast becoming a leader in medical cannabis research as forward-thinking companies and advocacy groups seek new solutions. Join Canadian Club Toronto to hear from leaders from the Arthritis Society, the MS Society, Lung Association-Ontario as well as a keynote address from Peter Aceto, CEO of CannTrust, about what the future holds for Canadian leadership in medical cannabis.

Through his tireless following of press conferences, rallies and interviews, Dale has constructed an impressive database of these lies, sorted by topic and venue, and established a large following.

The Honourable Jason Kenney May 03, 2019

Show notes

Join Canadian Club Toronto on Friday, May 3 when newly elected Premier Jason Kenney will speak about his government’s plan for Alberta in 2019 and beyond. Jason Kenney committed himself to public life in the early 1990s as President of the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, where he fought hard for lower taxes and fiscal responsibility. In 1997, at the age of 29, Calgary voters elected him to Parliament where he worked to unite conservatives nationally. During his time in Parliament, Jason was voted the “best overall,” “hardest working,” and “most knowledgeable” MP by his colleagues in MacLean’s Magazine’s annual survey. Mr. Kenney served as Minister for Multiculturalism for eight years in Prime Minister Harper’s government, reaching out to new Canadians as a strong advocate for pluralism. He became Canada’s longest serving Minister of Citizenship and Immigration, welcoming over 1.3 million newcomers to Canada while implementing comprehensive reforms to Canada’s immigration, refugee and citizenship programs, leading the National Post to call him “perhaps Canada’s best immigration minister ever.” From 2013 to 2015 Mr. Kenney served as Minister of Employment and Social Development, where he implemented a “skills for jobs” strategy to increase support for skilled trades and apprenticeship learning. In 2015, he served as Minister of National Defence, deploying Canada’s military to combat ISIS in the Middle East, and to Ukraine to help modernize that country’s defences. In 2017 Mr. Kenney was elected Leader of Alberta’s Progressive Conservative Party with a mandate to reunite the province’s divided free enterprise political movement. He then helped to lead the creation of the new United Conservative Party, and was elected its Leader, becoming Leader of the Opposition. In April, 2019 he led his party to an election victory with 55% of the popular vote in a campaign focused on economic growth, and advocating a fair deal for Alberta in the Canadian federation. He will be sworn-in as Alberta’s 18th Premier on April 30, 2019.
