Rt Hon. David Johnston

On Wednesday May 29, 2019 the retired
Governor General has agreed to speak to
the Club at 2 p.m. at the Italian Canadian
Club. Both halls are reserved and we
anticipate up to 500 to attend. Each
member will be able to have two tickets
(no cost), and we will be asking members
to make a commitment by the end of
March for their two tickets. Following that
we will send invitations to the other Men’s
Club, to Probus, Third Age Learning, four
students from each High School in Guelph

It will be a special occasion.
