Invites you to join us for a
Luncheon presentation by Graeme Morton, MA, PhD (Edinburgh)
Scottish Studies Foundation Chair at the University of Guelph
Upwards of 4 million Canadians can claim Scottish heritage. Since they first arrived on Canada's eastern coast, the Scots have played an influential role in Canadian commerce, politics and industry. Attracted by the political freedoms in Canada, many became politically active or tapped country’s resources as fur traders and explorers. Some became Canadian historical figures, such as Alexander MacKenzie, Sir John A. MacDonald and Simon Fraser. Tough young Highlanders were instrumental in the establishment of the Hudson's Bay Company.
Dr. Morton will be discussing his role and work as Chair of Scottish Studies at the University of Guelph, the history and development of Tartan Day, and Scottish contributions to life in North America.

The Honourable Michael Wilson

Canada and the Midwest have a strong relationship that just gets stronger, especially in energy and transportation. For example, American and Canadian private-sector companies will expand two refineries and build two new pipelines to bring Canadian crude petroleum to Illinois and Indiana increasing our usage from the current 50% to nearly 70% in the next five years. Also the Pacific Gateway transportation corridor is being developed between Prince Rupert, British Columbia and Chicago, resulting in a significant improvement in freight traffic.

Canadian specialties from many areas of Canada including House-Smoked Salmon
Gravlox from Nova Scotia, Shrimp from New Brunswick and Walleye from Manitoba.
And, although the focus is great Canadian seafood, no Canadian culinary menu would be complete without a
flight of award-winning Qu*bec cheeses. Dinner will be complemented by a selection of Canadian,
French and Illinois wines
Don’s Fishmarket Grill is located at 9335 Skokie Blvd, Skokie, IL—just off the Edens
Expressway. The reception will begin at 6:30 PM with Dinner at 7 PM.

maritime menu, offering seafood from many oceans of the world. For the Taste of Canada, the
emphasis will be on Canada’s fine seafood drawn from its cold and pure waters.
The Canadian Club, founded in 1942, has become a Mecca for both Canadians and friends of
Canada, who welcome their culture, trade, business ties and fine cuisine of our Northern
neighbor. Events such as trade seminars, sporting events and now – a Taste of Canada – will
increase awareness of what this richly diverse and welcoming nation North of our borders will
offer.
The Dinner will be held in the recently renovated Grill with its subtle colorations, maritime
accents, and roaring fireplace—perfect for a mid-Autumn dinner.
This lavish dinner is priced at just $55 per person. To make reservations, call Chicagourmet at

Monsieur Chopin
The Canadian Club of Chicago invites you to enjoy an evening with Canadian actor, Hershey Felder, in his new production:
Monsieur Chopin
Starring
Hershey Felder of Toronto
This new play written by Hershey Felder features the romantic story and music of the Polish pianist-composer Frederic Chopin. Monsieur Chopin will teach a piano lesson that actually took place on March 4, 1848, just days after the February 1848 revolution. As the piano lesson unfolds at his salon at 9 Square d'Orleans in Paris, he reveals secrets about the art of piano and composition, as well as secrets about himself. Considered by his contemporaries, and now by history, as the true "Poet of the Piano," Monsieur Chopin features some of his most beautiful and enduring music.
