President’s Message

Welcome to our website! We hope that you will find information that will encourage you to join the Ottawa Women's Canadian Club if you are not already a member.

The year 2010, our Centennial Year, has been a very exciting year for the Ottawa Women's Canadian Club. Our year was ushered in in January with a Proclamation from the Mayor of Ottawa read by the Town Crier and declaring our first luncheon date to be Ottawa Women's Canadian Club Day.

Our May luncheon was the much-anticipated launching of the book, Ottawa Women's Canadian Club, 1910-2010, by our archivist, Rowena Cooper.

We begin our fall session with interesting and varied speakers and continue to enjoy the ambience of the Château Laurier Hotel where we have held our luncheons for almost one hundred years.

Do browse though our entire website and find out all of the interesting and exciting things that are coming up in the fall.

Margaret Manson, President
