Notes

The Ottawa Women's Canadian Club was founded on January 17, 1910, by a group of thirty women. Membership fees were $1.00, and their first public meeting was held at the Collegiate Institute on December 3, 1910. From October 19, 1912, until the outbreak of the Covid-19 Pandemic, the OWCC met at the Ch�teau Laurier Hotel, moving to Zoom meetings in 2021 and early 2022. Following the Pandemic, the OWCC moved to the Ottawa Golf and Country Club, holding its first meeting in the new venue on October 18, 2022.
