President's Message

Message from the President 2009-2010

It is my pleasure as President, to welcome you to another exciting season of intelligent and creative programming. As always, we will be bringing an interesting line-up of prominent and provocative speakers to our podium.

From here and abroad we will bring political and business news and views beginning with the Don Newman, Veteran Broadcast Journalist and Former Host of CBC's Politics with Don Newman in September, Tom Donohue, President & CEO of the US Chamber of Commerce in October, Eric Siegel, President & CEO of Export Development Canada (EDC) in November, and Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of Canada in December.

We also will continue to host stimulating book launches, featuring authors and titles from the world of politics and business. We look forward to hosting General Hiller in October who will launch his new book, “A Soldier First; Dodging Bullets, Bureaucrats and the Politics of War”.

This season we will present our 5th annual Women in Public Life Luncheon, in partnership with Equal Voice and in November we will continue our Education Program through our fourth annual Take Our Kids to Lunch Day in conjunction with The Learning Partnership. At every luncheon we will continue our student table program, supported by corporate and individual sponsors, to give young audiences new opportunities for learning outside the classroom.

For more information on our season or to purchase tickets, please visit us at www.canadianclub.org. To enquire about membership, sponsorship or partnership opportunities, contact our Executive Director, Jennifer Schmidt, at 416-364-5591.

We look forward to seeing you at our events and sharing an exciting season.
