Septembre 2026
Dear members and partners of the Canadian Club,
It is with great pride, humility and enthusiasm that I assume the role of Chair of the Board of Directors of the Canadian Club of Montreal for the 2026–2027 season, surrounded by an outstanding team and the support of a deeply committed Board of Directors.
I am honoured to succeed Annie Houle, whose leadership and sustained commitment have helped strengthen the Club’s presence within Montreal’s business community. On behalf of the Board of Directors, I would like to sincerely thank her for her exceptional contribution.
For more than a century, the Canadian Club has brought together leaders, builders and visionaries who help shape our economy, our institutions and our communities. At a time of accelerating economic, technological and social transformation, dialogue is more important than ever. The organizations that thrive will be those that successfully combine innovation, agility, collaboration and a global outlook. The Canadian Club’s mission is precisely to foster this collective reflection by providing a platform for inspiring individuals who are shaping the future of our businesses, our institutions and our society.
This season, we will have the privilege of welcoming prominent figures from a wide range of backgrounds, who will share their experience, perspectives and vision of the major issues transforming our business environment.
Beyond the keynotes, each event will provide an opportunity to exchange ideas, learn, build new relationships and strengthen the ties that unite our community. Your presence, participation and engagement are central to the vitality of the Club, and we are sincerely grateful for your continued support.
I invite you to explore our program and join us throughout the season as together we carry forward the tradition of excellence, openness and dialogue that has been the strength of the Canadian Club for more than one hundred years.
I look forward to welcoming you at our upcoming events!
Annie Lapointe
Chair of the Board of Directors, Canadian Club of Montreal
Managing Director and Co-Head, BMO Capital Markets – Québec
