A Candlelight High Tea Experience — Women, Influence & Legacy

About The Event:

The Sororum club for women hosts an intimate Candlelight Tea & Talk on Monday, November 17th.

Step back in time within this stunning heritage venue, established in 1929, and experience an evening that blends warmth, conversation, and inspiration.

Guests will enjoy a candlelight high tea service by Executive Chef Douglas James Walker followed by a fascinating presentation and discussion from Royal Historian Dr. Carolyn Harris, who will share some stories of women throughout history, from Cleopatra and Queen Elizabeth I to Indira Gandhi and Margaret Thatcher, as well as a few significant women from the City of Toronto.

You’ll leave inspired, relaxed, and enriched by stories of interesting women whose courage, intellect, and spirit continue to illuminate the world today — and perhaps with a few new friendships of your own.

More than just an evening out, it’s an opportunity to connect with a community of thoughtful, like-minded women who value conversation, curiosity, and shared experience.
