Take Advantage of all the Academy Offers!

Clubs are organized by the Special Events and Activities Committee. The Academy clubs are ad hoc groups that offer our members the opportunity to discuss, investigate, and chat about various topics of shared interest in a discussion group setting. Clubs typically meet monthly for 1-2 hours after 4 p.m. on-line, via Zoom. Presentations are not required. In-person clubs are also offered. Member proposals for new clubs can be sent to the Special Events and Activities Committee by clicking on the link provided in the Clubs section of the website.

Members can join at any time by clicking the link provided for each club and completing the form to join. Non-members are welcome to audit a club on a trial basis (typically 1-2 months), before deciding whether to join. However, approval needs to be obtained through the link provided for each club.

Interested in leading a Club? Please contact the chair of Special Events and Activities using the form found at the end of this page.

Gardening Online via Zoom

The Gardening Club is for anyone who loves growing things, whether in a garden, on a balcony or indoors. We meet very informally, year round, with no set agenda or presentations. We share updates on the health of our plants, and how best to maintain them, soil cultivation, watering schedules, pruning, pest control, etc., etc. We admire photos of luxuriant blooms and commiserate over scrawny failures! Upcoming garden tours may be recommended, or unsatisfactory tree service companies advised against. We had a very successful field trip to Spadina House Garden last year and hope to arrange more trips in the future.

Frequency: Monthly on the 3rd Tuesday of each month
Time: 4:30–5:30pm
