  1. Rideau Club

    The Rideau Club is a noted social club in Ottawa , Canada . Founded in 1865, and located near the Parliament Hill Parliament Buildings , it is the meeting place both of Canada s political elite, and the city of Ottawa s social and business elite. Originally located across the street from the Parliament Buildings, the original Club building burned down in October 1979 and the Club is now located on the top floor of a downtown office tower. Ironically, at the time of the fire, the Canadian Government was attempting to expropriate the Club property to serve as part of a future US Embassy. Even after the fire, obtaining a judge to resolve the Club s ultimately successful case against the Canadian government alleging inadequate compensation for expropriation, proved difficult as most sitting Federal judges in Ottawa were members. While most clubs are by definition at least somewhat restrictive, the Rideau Club was remarkably progressive for its time. It was reported to be the first club in Canada and one of the first in North America to disallow the use of the Blackball blacklist blackball tradition which allowed clubs to subtly discriminate against potential Jewish members. Similarly, in the 1970s, after seeing controversy over its all male policy, the Club allowed female members and at the same time removed restrictions on female guests. Again, this was progressive for the times. In the 21st century, with a focus on under 40 members, the Club worked hard to ensure its growth and continued existence embodying that most marvelous of Canadian oxymorons a significant conservative, yet progressive institution coupled with an elite Ottawa focus. The definitive history of the Rideau Club is outlined in the book Up from the Ashes The Rideau Club Story by the late Canadian journalist Charles Lynch.
