The Canadian Club & Friends was originally formed in January 2011 as a Resident Club, through the hard work of Margaret Denneny & Albert Goldade.

Margaret & Albert were part of the first Board and the club started with only 18 members.


In 2013 we became a Chartered Club. The Club has continually grown so that it now has over 130 members. Our Season is usually from November 1 – March 30 of each year as most of our members return back to Canada during the summer months.

Our activities are varied, from seminars on specific topics, to social gatherings within Sun City or going off site for various events.

The purpose of the Canadian Club & Friends is to bring together Canadian Residents and Friends living in Sun City Palm Desert for Social Activities, Camaraderie, Education and for orientation to American Procedures and Services. 

We understand that every member has different needs and goals. That’s why we offer a variety of resources designed to cater to a wide range of interests and objectives. From workshops to online resources, our aim is to support your journey every step of the way. Explore our offerings and discover how we can assist you in achieving your goals.
