The President’s Message

Welcome back! The aim of the St. James Literary Society is to not only to share knowledge about current affairs, but also to promote friendship and humanity. This has been our mission for the last 126 years, since our founding. Our 125th anniversary was recently recognized by Canada’s Governor General, Mary Simon, who has sent us her wishes for continued success.
One historic change is that we have adopted is the ease of online meetings, which are less expensive to hold and allow us to continue to provide our meetings free of charge.
Looking to the events we have planned: as usual, the 2023-2024 season features a wide range of topics such as lowering your risk factors for dementia, environmental stress initiators, the rise of antimicrobial resistance, pain management and more.
I ask you to please join us and participate! Share your interest in our events by telling your friends about us.
Finally, I would like to thank the dedicated team that plans and organizes to make St. James Literary Society events possible. We are a non-profit organization and we are currently looking for volunteers to join the board. If you are interested, send us a note.
Stay safe and all the best to you and your loved ones!
