The American Women’s Club of Toronto has a long and fascinating history that dates back 100 years. In 1917, Mrs. Thomas Wylie — an American living in Toronto — was in a Toronto hospital giving birth to her first child. She found support and comfort from Mrs. Susie Falvey, the hospital matron who was also an American. Their friendship led to the idea of forming a club specifically for American women living in Toronto. AWCT was started with only fifteen women.

Although the world has changed over the years, The American Women’s Club of Toronto has remained a thriving club, offering a variety of activities and philanthropic opportunities to contribute to the welfare of the community.
The thread that has kept this Club together all these years runs through those who care for others, who are the ambassadors to our adopted country, and whose persistence, hard work and dedication have no limits. Moving into our next 100 years we now use social media, have a comprehensive website and publish our bi-monthly (literary worthy) newsletter.
