Canadians Presenting to Canadians
The Canadian Club of Halton presents a dynamic forum to explore issues that matter most to Canada. We provide a welcoming social environment for inquisitive, influential, and engaged Canadians. The Canadian Club is an opportunity for all who share a keen interest in contemporary Canadian life and who seek context, perspective and a deeper level of understanding. We promote Canadian identity by providing notable, knowledgeable and celebrated speakers on a wide variety of subjects. We are a volunteer-driven not-for-profit organization.
We offer seven dinner speaker evenings from September to April at the Oakville Conference Centre, 2515 Wyecroft Road (QEW & Bronte). Our speakers’ presentations typically last 30-40 minutes followed by a 10-15 minute robust question period. Our doors and a cash bar open at 6:00 pm followed by dinner at 7:00 pm. Tickets are required in advance. We have over 200 members and, with guests and other non-members, we range from 110-170 attendees at most dinners. Non-members are encouraged to attend to experience an engaging and informative evening. Memberships run for 12 months from the date of membership. You can find more on our membership page.
Our speakers volunteer their time and expertise at no charge. We thank each of them with a selection of quality wines from a Niagara winery and we make a $300 donation to an organization chosen by each speaker.
Since 2010 we have donated $37,750 to Ontario community organizations on behalf of our speakers.

A brief history…
The first Canadian Club was formed in Hamilton in the 1890’s to foster a sense of what it meant to be a Canadian and to increase interest in matters affecting the welfare of our country. With similar intent, a group of engaged residents established the Oakville Canadian Club in 1986. A decade later the Oakville and Burlington chapters merged and now operate as the Canadian Club of Halton. 
We look forward to every meeting of the Canadian Club of Halton. Not only do we get to enjoy a delicious meal with scintillating company but we get to learn about new and exciting topics from expert speakers in areas that we would not ordinarily explore ourselves. We find the value for money to be exceptional and the time to be very well spent.
As proud Canadians, and fortunate to be living in the Halton Community, being a member of the Canadian Club Halton is indeed an honour and a privilege. It is a well-organized Club which has a great deal to offer in way of dinners, presentations and coming together with friends of our Community.
My husband and I started attending the Canadian Club of Halton a few years ago when our boys were both off at university. We were looking for an interesting way to meet new people and spend an evening out together. The Canadian Club was a terrific choice…connecting with a lovely group of people and enjoying a variety of highly engaging and thought-provoking speakers – and the bonus, I don’t have to cook!
After years of Anne attending the Hamilton Luncheon Club we came to the Oakville Club after Dave’s retirement. The people we have met over dinner have enriched our lives. The speakers have always been awesome and we have been truly blessed by every one of them. Looking to enrich your lives Oakville Canadian Club is the answer.
