Twenty-First Annual Churchill Society Dinner

Volume 17 Issue 1 Spring 2005

The 2004 Churchill Society Dinner was held on November 8, 2004 in the Concert Hall at the Fairmont Royal York Hotel in Toronto.  The Churchill Society was pleased to have Professor Warren F. Kimball as its keynote speaker for the evening.  Professor Kimball is the Robert Treat Professor of History at Rutgers University, and is currently the Mark A. Clark Distinguished Visiting Professor of History at The Citadel.  A well known Churchillian, Professor Kimball has been written extensively on the relationship between Prime Minister Churchill and President Roosevelt, including his acclaimed work Forged in War: Roosevelt, Churchill and the Second World War.  Professor Kimball regaled the dinner with some interesting Churchill anecdotes before focusing on the important relationship between Great Britain and North America during the Second World War. 

The 2004 Dinner also featured passionate remarks by The Right Honourable Joe Clark, recipient of the 2004 Churchill Society Award for Excellence in the Cause of Parliamentary Democracy.  Mr. Clark’s remarks touched on important parliamentary traditions and provided insight into strengthening Canadian democracy through a mixture of an adherence to tradition and an embrace of selective reforms.  His remarks were both timely and thought provoking.
