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.

With an increasing customer base and decreasing, or flat-lined, budgets, Toronto’s public services, including the Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) and Toronto Community Housing (TCH), are faced with the challenge of continuing to provide high quality customer service to a growing population – all within a challenging fiscal environment.

What are these organizations doing to improve and innovate their services? How are they modernizing the customer experience? How are their leaders’ experiences in other cities influencing innovation in Toronto? On Monday, June 3, join TTC CEO Andy Byford and TCH President & CEO Eugene Jones Jr., in conversation with Royson James, as they share their insights for the future of public services in Toronto and what their respective organizations are doing to initiate change.
