Canadian Progress Club - Halifax

It was 1965, when the fifteen charter members of the Canadian Progress Club – Halifax came together to form a new chapter of our National service club. From modest beginnings, the club has flourished to become a model of charitable fundraising success in Eastern Canada. Numerous members have followed the footsteps of the original fifteen and all have adhered to the maxim that you join the Canadian Progress Club to give back to our community. We limit our membership to fifty and ask a lot of every member. Having raised millions of dollars since our inception, the Canadian Progress Club - Halifax has been able to make significant contributions to our two main beneficiaries - the King’s Meadow Home and the Progress Centre for Early Intervention. Our financial and service contributions have also extended far beyond our two major charities to include Special Olympics Canada, Nova Scotia Special Olympics, IWK Hospital, Bryony House, Feed Nova Scotia, Feeding Others of Dartmouth, Abilities Foundation, Mental Health Organizations, Breast Cancer Foundation and many more. In 2017, we were extremely proud to introduce our newest beneficiary, The Club Inclusion. Contributing to the community in the way we do is made possible by the continued support of our generous patrons and sponsors along with the hard work of our members. Our primary fundraising initiatives include the annual Sports Celebrity Dinner, Big Spring Gala & Auction and our newest annual event, CRAVE: A Food Drink Experience. As a Club we work tirelessly to provide funds for our charities and will continue to be actively involved in our community for many years to come with your help and continued generosity.
