History
In November 1960, a group of women decided to form a social club which came to be known as the Engineering Institute of Canada Wives Club. Over the years, the club grew to a membership of 140 and enjoyed monthly functions such as dances and bridge groups. The club also donated to a worthy cause at the end of each year, such as KGH Pacemaker Clinic. In 1965, the club became known as the Engineers Wives Club. This expanded its membership to include the wives and widows of the Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario.A new charter was agreed upon in 1976 which established the membership tea, along with pot luck suppers and an annual dinner dance. The Engineers Wives Club also continued its practice of an annual donation to a worthy cause.
