Effective January 1, 2025, members of Skål Toronto and Skål Toronto North will consolidate into a single Skål Toronto Club, reuniting both clubs after over two decades of independent journeys. This decision reflects the commitment and unified vision of members from both clubs, marking a step forward in revitalizing Skål within the Greater Toronto Area.
Both clubs are collaborating to ensure a seamless and prosperous transition, with plans underway for a celebratory event in early 2025. The aspiration for a unified Skål Toronto has been an ambition for many years, and Skål Toronto and Skål Toronto North are exceptionally proud to witness it materialize. The executives shared their gratitude to everyone whose dedication has made this transformative moment possible.
With renewed vigor, visionary ideas, and enriched networking avenues, a singular Skål Toronto Club promises an elevated experience for each member. The management of the two clubs are looking forward to one club with one purpose – one Skål Toronto!
Serge Doyon, President of Skål Canada, said, “This merger is a testament to the strength and resilience of Skål’s Canadian community, reflecting a shared commitment to fostering deeper connections and elevating our mission of doing business among friends. By uniting under one banner, Skål Toronto becomes a model for collaboration and adaptability within Skål Canada and beyond. This merger not only revitalizes the club within the Greater Toronto Area but also aligns with our broader vision for growth, unity, and leadership within Skål Canada.
“As we move forward together, I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the members, leaders, and visionaries of Skål Toronto and Skål Toronto North, in particular Susan Webb and Vishal Malhotra, the two Club presidents, who have worked tirelessly to make this dream a reality. Their dedication exemplifies the very spirit of Skål. Let us celebrate this achievement as a milestone that enriches our entire Skål community, strengthens our bonds, and propels us towards an even brighter future for Skål in Canada.”
