About
Further research will be necessary to determine the precise date of the founding of the Victoria branch. In 1934, however, Victoria had two representatives on the national council: W.T. Straith, a lawyer who later served in the provincial cabinet, and B.G. Nicholas, the legendary editor of the Victoria Daily Times. By 1936-37 it was fully organized and its almost forty members met regularly to hear such speakers as F.R. Scott, Escott Reid, and F.H. Soward as well as visitors from China and Australia. Today, it has about 150 active members, including academics and many who have served in senior positions with the Departments of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and of National Defence. Approximately 100 to 120 members and guests attend its monthly luncheon meetings.
