Our History
Founded in 1907 by Lady Drummond and Mrs Elsie Reford, the goal was to encourage the preservation of Canadian heritage and history, and to introduce the early 20th century woman to a knowledge and understanding of matters of public concern in order to strengthen Canadian unity and identity. Among our many projects and contributions of the Women's Canadian Club of Montreal was the construction of a cenotaph in Dominion Square in memory of the fallen of World War I. The WCCM initiated and supervised the project and asked the City to erect the monument where it is still located today. As well as hosting a series of eight lectures, special excursions to a wide variety of institutions and historic sites are arranged each season, and special guest speakers are invited to our annual Christmas and Spring Luncheons. The Women's Canadian Club of Montreal, the first of several Women's Canadian Clubs across Canada, continues to further the goals of Lady Drummond and Mrs Elsie Reford
