The St. Andrew’s Society looks forward to holding our traditional Burns Dinner in conjunction with the University Club of Toronto. The event follows the time-honoured format with the Address to a Haggis, The Immortal Memory and Toasts to the Lassies and Laddies.

This year we are delighted to welcome Dr. Kevin James, Scottish Studies Foundation Chair and Professor of History at University of Guelph, as our guest speaker. Mike Wise will propose the Toast to the Lassies and Susan Grundy will respond with the Toast to the Laddies. We will conclude the evening with musical entertainment.
