History
The Canada Club is one of the oldest dining clubs in London and the most ancient Canadian institution in the United Kingdom. It was formally constituted in October 1810 at the Freemason’s Tavern, Holborn by fur traders of the North West Company and for almost two centuries, has been at the centre of Anglo-Canadian relations.
The Canada Club hosts two dinners a year in London. The highlight of each is an address by a speaker of significant achievement with connections to or of interest to Canadians. Past speakers have included every Canadian Prime Minister from the first, Sir John A. MacDonald, to the current Prime Minister, Stephen Harper as well as many British and international speakers. The Canada Club is honoured to enjoy the support and involvement of our Patron, HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. |
