Artful Dodgers
Enjoy the full spectrum of the arts scene in the Greater Toronto Area. We have been behind the scenes at the ROM, AGO, and the Design Exchange, tours of private collections, and
Hands-on mono-print-making with Japanese papers, theater and musical excursions. We have seen great works of art and enjoyed exquisite Mennonite quilts and antique textiles and artifacts. We do it all and then we enjoy lunch.

There are two AWCT book groups – Uptown-North and Downtown – a location convenience.

Evenings Out
Once a month, AWCT members meet for casual gathering at a Toronto bar for drinks (alcoholic or non-alcoholic) and convivial conversation. It is open to all members, but we're especially trying to connect with members who, for a variety of reasons, cannot make the AWCT daytime meetings.
Golf
The golf group meets weekly during the summer on Thursday mornings from mid-May to September at a public golf course in Richmond Hill. We welcome non-member friends of members who wish to join us.

Knitting
Whether you want to learn how to knit, strengthen your skills, or just enjoy your knitting passion, we are for you. Along the way you’ll have a great time socializing and making new friends.
Movies
Join us on the first Tuesday of each month at SilverCity in Richmond Hill for an early movie, followed by interesting and provocative discussions at dinner.
Northern Explorers
Join us for occasional field trips or cultural events that are centered in the outer GTA, mainly York Region or Durham Region.
