Where and when are the monthly luncheons held?

Monthly luncheons are held September to June on the first Thursday of the month. Our venue is  the beautiful and historic Union Club in downtown Victoria. Following a delicious meal prepared by the Union Club (vegetarian and gluten-free options are available,) we host a guest speaking on a wide variety of topics. More information about the luncheons can be found here.
