The May Court Club of Ottawa is a dynamic service club for women living in Ottawa and the surrounding region. It recently celebrated its 125th year of operation making it the oldest club of its kind in Canada. It has inspired the formation of eight other May Court clubs in Canada.
The Club has dedicated its services from its earliest days to the needs of the community, often in the field of health and welfare for women and children. Currently, the Club accommodates and supports the May Court Hospice, provides grants to community organizations, and awards scholarships to nurse practitioners and those enrolled in Information Studies. It operates the Bargain Box, a thriving thrift shop that serves as a community hub besides generating funds.
The May Court Club of Ottawa works to offer its members a sense of purpose through volunteerism, and a sense of belonging through association. Friendship is an integral part of the mix, and the handsome clubhouse in the Glebe provides a welcoming central location for interest and activity groups as well as a venue for fundraising events.
