The Empire Club of Canada is Canada's foremost luncheon speakers club of record. Meetings are held weekly, from September through April, normally at The Royal York Hotel, in Toronto. At these meetings, members and guests are addressed by a wide variety of speakers who are prominent in their fields.
Addresses range from politics and business through the arts, science and sport.
Since the formation of The Empire Club of Canada in 1903, over 2500 addresses have been made to the Club. Every speech has been published in the Club's annual yearbook, The Empire Club Addresses . This record of over 90 years of Canada's history provides a unique resource for historians, researchers and interested readers. The annual Empire Club Addresses yearbook is published by The Empire Club Foundation. They are also distributed free of charge to public and educational libraries across Canada, and to Canadian embassies and consulates.
