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.

Since 1992, Canadian Club Toronto has presented its Canadian of the Year Award to distinguish and recognize those whose efforts and example have improved the lives of others and inspired us as a nation. This year we proudly recognize the Come From Away creators – Irene Sankoff and David Hein, and the creator of The Canadian Music Theatre Project – Michael Rubinoff as our 2017 Canadians of the Year for their impressive work, showcasing the best of Canadian values on an international stage. Come From Away tells the story of when 38 planes and thousands of passengers were diverted to the Town of Gander, Newfoundland, a remote community that became the epicenter of a remarkable true story filled with unusual characters, unexpected camaraderie and uncommon generosity. From the original idea to the sold out and seven Tony Nominations success story – our panelists, Irene Sankoff & David Hein (Writers/Composers), Sue Frost & Randy Adams (Producers) and Christopher Ashley (Director) will discuss their journey and what’s next on the horizon. Join us on December 13 when the Come From Away creative team take the stage to discuss the award-winning Broadway musical that is making a grand return to Toronto.

Over the last three years, Mayor John Tory has led City Council to invest in building transit, fighting traffic, and keeping Toronto affordable. Join us on November 27 when Mayor Tory will outline how his administration’s first three City budgets addressed those key priorities and how the 2018 budget will continue to make life better for all those who call Toronto home. John Tory is the 65th Mayor of Toronto. Born and raised in Toronto, Mayor Tory has spent his career promoting and giving back to the city he loves. As Mayor, his top priorities have been tackling transit and traffic congestion. He is focused on taking action to reduce commute times so Toronto residents can get to work on time and home to their families sooner. Under Mayor Tory’s leadership, the city is addressing Toronto’s transit crisis by finishing the York-Spadina subway extension, getting on with the Scarborough subway extension and beginning work on SmartTrack. Many of Mayor Tory’s initiatives over the last three years have been focused on making sure Toronto remains a livable and affordable city for all. He has led Council in approving three budgets that keep taxes low by encouraging City staff to find more efficient and modern ways to deliver services. Over the last three years, the Mayor has been a tireless defender of Toronto and successfully advocated for much-needed funding for transit and housing from the federal government. The early years of Mayor Tory’s career were spent practicing law in Toronto, and he was later elected as a managing partner of one of Canada’s biggest law firms. In the 1980’s he served as Principal Secretary to Premier Bill Davis and as Associate Secretary of the Ontario Cabinet. In September 2004, Mayor Tory was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario. In 2005, as PC Party Leader, Mayor Tory would serve as the Leader of the Official Opposition at Queen’s Park. Mayor Tory has an extensive background in volunteer community service. He served as volunteer Chairman and Commissioner of the Canadian Football League and has chaired fundraising campaigns for St. Michael’s Hospital and the United Way. He has also held leadership positions in a wide range of charitable organizations ranging from Canadian Paraplegic Association, Crimestoppers, St. Michael’s Hospital, Toronto Association for Community Living, the United Way, and the Women’s Legal Education & Action Fund (LEAF). Mayor Tory’s community work has been widely recognized. Mayor Tory was a founding Board Member and Chair of the Greater Toronto CivicAction Alliance. He is a recipient of both the Paul Harris and Mel Osborne Awards from the Rotary and Kiwanis organizations respectively and was named a Life Member of the Salvation Army Advisory Board. He is also the recipient of an African Canadian Achievement Award and the Harry Jerome Award. Mayor Tory has also been awarded the Order of Ontario for being a “consummate champion for the Greater Toronto Region.” Born on May 28, 1954, Mayor Tory is a lifelong, and long-suffering, Toronto Maple Leafs fan. Mayor Tory and his wife Barbara have been married for 39 years. They raised their four children, John Jr, Chris, Susan and George in Toronto and are now delighted to have five grandchildren to spoil.
