The Canadian Progress Club formed in Toronto in 1922 was initially a group of professional businessmen.  From humble beginnings, the club continued to grow into one of the strongest service organizations in Canada– today Progress is represented from coast to coast, with over 700 members.  The Canadian Progress Club takes on a variety of forms, from women’s and men’s clubs to mixed clubs. The Canadian Progress Club celebrates its fundraising efforts in almost every province across Canada.  We are proud of our contributions and welcome new members who would like to become involved.

Canadian Progress Charitable Foundation 

Funds raised by the Canadian Progress Charitable Foundation are endowed with the interest being disbursed on a regular basis to Canadian Special Olympics.   This endowment will be a legacy to future generations of Progressions and Special Olympians.  Our goal is to reach $1,000,000.00 – to date Progress clubs across Canada have supported the Foundation and have raised over $750,000.00.  Our goal is near!!  For further information on the foundation visit www.progressclub.ca
