Canadian clubs had their origin in 1892 when a group of men in Hamilton, Ontario formed a society to “deepen and widen the regard of Canadians for their land of birth or adoption, and to increase their interest in matters affecting the welfare of the country”.
The Canadian Club of London has a long and distinguished history of uninterrupted service in the community since its founding July 31, 1906. During the past 105 years, the club has been host to more than 1000 Canadian and international leaders who have shared their views with enthusiastic London audiences, making the Canadian Club one of the older continuing organizations in the city.
Each month from September to June the club brings prominent Canadians to the city to speak on topical issues of national and international interest in the arts, history, business, finance, education, law and politics.
Meetings are generally held over lunch and are hosted at the Hilton Hotel. Members and guests take delight in spirited questioning of speakers and intelligent discussion. Our events provide outstanding opportunities for networking and engaging with prominent members of the business community in London.
Club membership is open to anyone. Members receive a monthly newsletter giving advanced details of upcoming speakers along with discounted rates on event tickets.
