WCCM End of an Era

Reflecting on Our Legacy and Cherished Community Bonds

As we enter the final months of the Women’s Canadian Club of Montreal, we look back with deep appreciation for all that the club has accomplished and the countless lives it has touched.

Founded in 1907 by Lady Julia Drummond and Mrs. Elise Reford, along with the many leaders who followed in their footsteps, the club has consistently served as a beacon of knowledge, social interaction, support and generosity within our community.

Over the decades, the club has hosted a remarkable array of speakers who have educated and enriched our lives. Special Events and Holiday Luncheons have been at the heart of our club, creating cherished traditions and unforgettable moments. These occasions have brought joy to many and have marked important chapters in our shared history.

Throughout the years, members have given back to the community by supporting youth through education programs such as Encounters with Canada and awarding scholarships to students, helping them pursue their dreams. The club has also donated funds to numerous local charities, making a lasting difference in the lives of neighbours in need.

While the Club was a destination, the members were its heart. What truly sets us apart is the spirit of camaraderie and kindness fostered within our walls. The friendships, laughter, and shared memories have woven a tapestry that will endure long after our doors close. For many, the club has been a place to connect, grow, and support one another.

As we reflect on our rich legacy, we extend sincere gratitude to every member and supporter who helped shape the club into what it is today. No matter what the future holds, the bonds formed here will remain strong. We hope that the connections and memories continue to flourish within our community for years to come.

Dear Members of the WCCM,

I hope that you are keeping well and looking forward to festive holidays with family and friends.

As we prepare to celebrate together at our Holiday Luncheon this week, it is also the time when we ask our members to support a worthy cause. After much deliberation, and to replace the Encounters with Canada Program which we supported for many years, we have decided to create a WCCM Education initiative to provide bursaries and scholarships for young women. Although there are many worthy causes to support at this time, we are focused on what the club has been advocating and supporting for 115 years – education.

This initiative is being ably led by the Chair of our Education Committee, Marielle Wertheimer and committee member, Susan Simpson, and our vision is to establish a WCCM Bursary or Scholarship in as many schools as possible, where there is a need. It’s ambitious but achievable with your help.

You may ask – why focus on education? The simple answer is that education is one of the most powerful instruments for reducing poverty and inequality and for laying the basis for sustainable growth. It has strong links not just to productivity and growth, but also to improved health, and the ability to understand the need to care for our natural environment.

Please consider giving a donation to the WCCM and designate your gift to our Bursary and Scholarship Program. We will be collecting donations at our Holiday Luncheon as we usually do.

If you are unable to attend the Holiday Luncheon and would still like to give a donation, please mail your cheque, deliver your cash, or arrange an email transfer directly with Kirsten Katz, Treasurer, Women’s Canadian Club of Montreal, P.O. Box 342, Victoria Station, Westmount, Quebec H3Z 2V8 or [email protected].

Thank you in advance for your kind generosity.

Wishing you and your loved ones a happy, healthy holiday season!
