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.

Show notes

Since 1992, the Canadian Club of Toronto has presented its Canadian of the Year Award to distinguish and recognise those whose efforts and example have improved the lives of others and inspired us as a nation. Join us for a luncheon on Friday, May 12th as we proudly recognize Lifeline Syria as our 2016 Canadian of the Year for their inspiring work in assisting with private sponsorship and resettlement of Syrian refugees in Canada. Lifeline Syria is a leading community engagement initiative, which was launched on June 17, 2015, in response to the ongoing humanitarian refugee crises in Syria, with its mission and goal being to assist groups to sponsor, welcome and resettle 1,000 Syrian refugees as permanent residents in Canada within two years. Lifeline Syria has already achieved and surpassed this goal. This celebration will feature a panel discussion consisting of many diverse perspectives – including Leen Al Zaibak of Lifeline Syria, Canadian sponsors and Syrian newcomers. They will share their unique experiences and offer insights on how Canada can build on its internationally recognised role as being one of the leaders in this substantial humanitarian effort.
