The WCCH was established in 1912.

After 112 years of meetings, speakers, luncheons, receptions at Citizenship Court and supporting local causes the Board is in the process of dissolving the corporation.

Pat Saunders, a past-president of the WCCH passed away on October 7, 2026. A proud Canadian, she was a fierce advocate for local heritage, women's issues, and mental health issues: she was a force to be reckoned with. Pat was the recipient of several awards including the Queen's Golden Jubilee Medal, Hamilton's Senior of the Year Award and the Rev. T. Melville Bailey Heritage Award. It was noted that hers were not big shoes to fill as she had small feet, but they were running shoes, as she never slowed down! Our deepest sympathies to Pat's family, friends and colleagues.

June Lockwood, a long time member of the WCCH passed away on September 27. June served on the Board of the WCCH in many capacities and spent many years awarding funds to deserving local secondary school students so they could attend the Encounters with Canada program in Ottawa. She took great delight in welcoming those students, and their teacher, to the May luncheon, and listening to their stories. Our deepest sympathies go to June's family and friends.

Sadly we share the news that Mary Lorimer passed away on August 1, 2026. Mary was a member of the WCCH for many years, serving as Membership Chair and then Treasurer. She was very serious about her roles and proud to serve the Club. She presented at first as rather gruff, but once you got to know her you appreciated her great sense of humour and her funny, mischievous comments. We extend our sincere sympathies to her family, friends, and colleagues. Cheers to Mary!🍷

Spoons Looking for a Home!
These spoons were left at our celebration last fall. Do they belong to you?
Please contact us so they may be returned to their rightful owner (s).
(Yes, everyone recognizes the pattern on the left....our mothers bought them at the grocery store, one piece each week!)

Many years ago some pins and charms were ordered by the WCCH from a jeweller in Ottawa. A dozen of them remained. With the demise of the WCCH the pins were offered to the Women's Ottawa Women's Canadian Club and sent by Canada Post. The pins/charms will be appraised and sold with the proceeds supporting the Club's bursary & scholarship programs. Last Friday one of the 10K gold pins was given to the Governor General, Her Excellency Mary Simon at Rideau Hall as she completed her 5 year mandate. A reception attended by over 400 of her supporters was held. Governor General Simon was the patron of the Ottawa Women's Canadian Club. How wonderful that a pin originally purchased by the WCCH has been shared with the King's representative in Canada.

Six members of the WCCH, representing 60 years of volunteering, received pins and certificates in recognition of those years at a wonderful ceremony at LIUNA Station on April 27. Pictured here with MPP Sandy Shaw are Louise Noel-Ambrose, Susan, Alison, Lee, Christina and Ruth. Congratulations and thank you to all!
