THE UNIVERSITY WOMEN'S CLUB OF TORONTO


PAST EVENTS

TRAVEL NIGHT - Oct 27, 2025

Who knew that the Okavango Delta has been shaped by three eco-engineers; termites, hippos and elephants. For the past 50 million years, termites have created 150,000 islands that populate this inland oasis. 

Who knew that the markings on every giraffe are unique? Imagine!

Who knew that England in February IS a travel destination? :)

We learned all that AND more at our Travel Night in October. Thank you to Marianne, Jocelyn and Susan for taking us on their adventures.

The presentation notes are attached here.


SPEAKER - DONNA JEAN      Oct 20, 2025

On October 20, UWC’s speaker series featured Donna Jean Mackinnon, former reporter, columnist and features’ writer for the Toronto Star, and author of the book, “Newsgirls: Gutsy Pioneers in Canada’s Newsrooms”.

During her 21 years at the Star, Donna Jean collected anecdotes about the women writers working in the “Golden Age” of the newspaper industry and then used her formidable journalism and research skills to bring these stories together in her book. Donna Jean’s talk, accompanied by many marvellous photographs from the era, introduced us to some of the women reporters who appear in her book.

Donna Jean’s presentation was a fascinating look into the lives and experiences of the women who forged places for themselves in the Golden Age of Canada’s newspapers.

SPEAKER - ROSALIND PEPALL 
Sept 2025

On September 15, UWC held a well-attended buffet dinner for members in the Wedgewood Dining Room of the Faculty Club with guest speaker Rosalind Pepall, former Senior Curator of Decorative Arts at the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts, and author of “Talking to a Portrait: Tales of an Art Curator”. Roslind’s book is a collection of wide-ranging stories drawn from her experiences at the MMFA. In her presentation Rosalind took us through some of the highlights, illustrating her talk with colourful slides of paintings, architecture and decorative design featured in the book. Her stories were variously surprising, funny, poignant and awe-inspiring. 

It was a memorable event for UWC to kick off its fall season!
