Welcome to the Canadian Women's Club
About the Club
Today, the CWC has over 200 members and runs activities and events in London
and the Home Counties from an office in the Canadian High Commission, Grosvenor
Square W1.
CWC members range from Canadians who are permanent UK residents to those who
are here only temporarily. We also have a number of non-Canadian members who
have links to Canada and want to keep those links active. We welcome all women
who have an interest in getting together to enjoy Canadian hospitality in the
UK.
The CWC organises a wide range of events and activities to cater to the varied
interests, schedules and lifestyles of our members - from those who work full
time to those who have more flexibility during their day. CWC members enjoy
the opportunity to get together, exchange ideas, broaden horizons and participate
in our wide variety of activities and charitable work.
All our activities are announced to members in our quarterly bulletin (September,
January and April) and in regular email bulletins. These also provide updates
on the Maple Leaf Trust and our charitable activities as well as the events
of our fellow Canadian clubs and organisations in the UK.
The CWC is a member of the Federation of International Women’s Associations
in London (FIWAL) and the Commonwealth Countries League (CCL).

President's Message

July 2010
Since joining the CWC 4 years ago, I have been surprised at how proudly Canadian I am. With every event I have attended and planned for the CWC, I have become more aware of just how great Canadians are in the world. Here in the UK, Canadians are leaders in so many industries, be it fashion, arts, medicine, entertainment, finance to name a few. |

I am proud and honored to be President of the CWC this year. The CWC reflects the great presence of Canadians in the UK. We have a wealth of talented women. Chatting with new and old members is always a pleasure as I get to learn more about their interests and diverse backgrounds and skills.
The CWC needs to capitalise on these skills. We need to resurrect that can do attitude of members past.
And already at the planning session titled Canadian Women's Club Women With A Vision held with the Executive team in late June, I can see that can do attitude in motion.
New members have organized some fantastic events for our September to January calendar. There will be a visit to the Prince of Wales Garden Party at Clarence House in September, a private tour of the Ashmolean Museum in Oxford in October, a private evening tour of the National Gallery in November, and a private tour of Garrard's Vaults to mention a few.
Also don't miss our first Welcome Back Hospitality where we will get an inside look at the year in the life of the Lady Mayoress of London, Lady Anstee.
These are exciting times for the club. I want to extend a personal invitation to all to come to our events. The Executive team welcomes volunteers to help with hosting events and activities. It is always a fun and satisfying experience to work with the team.
Warmly, Patty patty[at]canadianwomenlondon.org |
