Olivia Chow is the 66th Mayor of Toronto, the first person of Asian descent to serve as Mayor, and the first woman since the six municipalities of Metro Toronto were amalgamated into one in 1998.
At our Women's Luncheon on March 6 we were delighted to host Mayor Olivia Chow and welcome her as an honourary member of our club. It has been a tradition in the past to include our mayor and we are pleased to be back to this.
Many years ago her late husband Jack Layton had been an active member of this great club.

We were proud to sponsor her tribute movie "STEADFAST" at a special club showing on February 24th.
