The Sororum Presents An Evening at Erchless Estate

For one evening only, The Sororum invites you to experience Erchless Estate in a way few have—through a thoughtfully curated gathering designed to inspire, connect, and leave a lasting impression.

The evening begins as you are welcomed onto the terrace and gardens surrounding the historic Coach House. As the sun softens and the grounds come to life, guests are invited to settle into a relaxed yet elevated atmosphere—where conversation flows effortlessly, introductions feel natural, and connections begin to take shape among a warm and engaging circle of women.

From there, you’ll be guided through the gardens to the Estate museum for a private, curated tour of the home. This is not a typical visit; it’s an intimate exploration of the stories often left untold. Together, we’ll uncover the lives and legacies of the influential women who helped shape both the Estate and the broader Oakville community.

As part of this experience, guests will also step into a powerful exhibit highlighting Oakville’s role in the Underground Railroad, offering a deeply moving and culturally significant moment that invites reflection and perspective.

As twilight settles, the evening gently transitions back to the Coach House, where guests gather once more for elevated, thoughtfully curated refreshments in an intimate and beautifully styled setting. This is where the experience deepens, where conversations become more meaningful, ideas are exchanged, and a sense of shared presence begins to unfold.

Our featured guest will be Arlene Duncan. Born in Oakville, Arlene Duncan is an acclaimed actress, singer, and storyteller whose career spans theatre, television, and film - most notably her role in CBCs’, Little Mosque on the Prairie and Diggstown.

A descendant of freedom seekers who arrived in Oakville through the Underground Railroad, Arlene carries a deeply personal connection to the town’s Black history and legacy.

Through her voice, artistry, and storytelling, Arlene brings a powerful and meaningful perspective rooted in heritage, resilience, and remembrance.

Every detail of the evening has been intentionally designed, from the setting to the flow, to the atmosphere, to create something that feels rare: a space where learning, beauty, and connection exist seamlessly together.

With a limited number of guests, this experience is intentionally intimate—allowing for a level of connection and presence that is often hard to find.

If you’ve been craving an evening that feels inspiring, grounding, and genuinely meaningful—this is it.

Inspire. Empower. Belong.
