Our club meets on the second Tuesday of each month except during July and August.
The morning begins at 10:00 a.m. for  socialization and signing up for activities followed by a speaker. Topics are varied, interesting and stimulating.

Special social events and outings occur throughout the year.

465 Hazeldean Road, Kanata

Visitors are welcome!

    At our September meeting, members received an entertaining and informative presentation on the history of radio in Canada. Retired CBC veteran Laurence Wall used audio clips from the past to bring the story alive. Starting with our first radio station CFCF in Montreal in 2020, through a National Dominion Day broadcast in 1927 to Foster Hewitt’s Hockey Night in Canada, and the Moose River Mine Tragedy and more. He also highlighted the role of the railway companies and in particular the Chateau Laurier. There were lots of questions and anecdotes from the audience, with Wall finishing off with several audio bloopers.
