Our Mission:
Women’s Canadian Club, London, Ontario is a membership-based speakers organization providing monthly meetings on topics dedicated to preserving our Canadian identity, increasing our interest in matters affecting the welfare of our country, informing us about Canada’s part in world affairs and acknowledging the outstanding accomplishments of young people in our community.
We believe:
- in Canada,

- that it is important to foster an interest in public affairs,
- in cultivating an understanding of Canadian culture,
- in providing a forum for global issues, and
- in supporting the youth in our community.
Our 2024-2025 Speaker Series will begin in September 2024 with a full line up of exciting speakers. Meetings are held the 2nd Thursday of each month from September through March at the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel (300 King St, London ON) on the 2nd Floor, Ballroom. In April, we hold a Spring Luncheon with special pricing.

Keynote Speaker
Dr. Good will speak on “His Story as Composer, Conductor for London Symphonia.”
His compositions have been performed by many orchestras, chamber ensembles, and choirs across Canada. From 2008-2011 he served as Composer-in-Residence with the Vancouver Symphony Orchestra. He has also worked as a trombonist with many orchestras and modern music ensembles across southern Ontario.
Dr. Good’s role has evolved over time to include artistic direction, where he meshes his conducting skills with his knowledge as a composer and arranger to design and produce innovative concerts. These programs focus on modern compositions and hybrid genre music that imbue a widely inclusive atmosphere for our culturally diverse communities.
