Our History

the Women’s Canadian Club, London, Canada, was formed with
Lady Elizabeth Gibbons as its first President. Our club celebrates
Canadians and our culture while preserving and promoting our heritage
and history. We are the largest Canadian Club in Canada.

Canadian identity, increasing our interest in matters affecting
