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 to 100 Million Mar 02, 2018

Show notes

Canada is facing a demographic shift, our aging population and low birth rate will create challenges for our children and grand-children. Without a bold and thoughtful long-term plan, we risk passing on a stalling economy and a lower standard of living. The Century Initiative believes our future prosperity depends on significantly growing Canada’s population to 100 million people by 2100. But what are the risks of pursuing a population growth agenda? What might it mean for immigration policy and immigrant integration? And what are the implications for our cities, employment and educational opportunities if we do? Join us on March 2nd for an update on their progress, delivered by Mark Wiseman, followed by a panel discussion with Dominic Barton, The Honourable Ahmed Hussen, Goldy Hyder and Sevaun Palvetzian, moderated by Adrienne Batra, to discuss our ability to build a bigger, bolder Canada.

Learning to Lead Without Bias Jan 17, 2018

Ever wonder why smart, well-intended leaders sometimes make poor decisions? We as humans are heavily influenced by our biases. The unconscious mind is a repository of past experiences that includes perceptions, intuition, and subliminal desires. Although these influences rarely reach our conscious minds, they play a significant role in governing our decisions. Join us on January 17 when expert panelists, Renee Bazile-Jones (Canadian Centre for Diversity & Inclusion), Scott Campbell (Blue Dot Strategy) and Lisa Mattam (Sahajan & The Mattam Group), moderated by David Scandiffio (CIBC Asset Management), address the effects of unconscious bias on leadership and in the workplace.
