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.

Perspectives on the Canadian Banking Industry

Anthony Lacavera Oct 03, 2017

Show notes

The Canadian economy isn’t in trouble. Yet. But it will be soon, because Canada isn’t prepared for the fourth industrial revolution. Our problem is not that we’re small, but that we think small. Our business culture is dominated by insular oligopolies. Outmoded regulations strangle opportunities for growth. Too often our young entrepreneurs have to leave to succeed, even when they don’t want to go. But there’s still time to fix this, and compete for the gold in business in the digital age. Join us on October 3rd as Anthony Lacavera delivers this powerful talk based on his controversial new book, How We Can Win. Anthony Lacavera, the founder and chairman of Globalive Capital, is best known for launching WIND Mobile, which he sold for $1.6 billion after it grew to become Canada’s fourth largest wireless carrier. As a venture capitalist, he has a significant stake in dozens of start-ups in Canada and the US, and has done business in more than thirty other countries; as a mentor and investor, he’s heavily involved in our most successful accelerators and incubators, including MaRS, Creative Destruction Lab, DMZ and Next Canada.
