About the Club – A Propos le Club

The Cambridge Canadian Club is a social club for Canadian Cambridge students and non-Canadians who take an interest in Canada. We hold at least two social events per term. Past events have included garden parties, club dinners, recruiting events with international firms, trips to the annual Varsity Hockey match, and an address by the Canadian High Commissioner. Over the past couple of years, we've averaged over a hundred members.

Le club canadien de Cambridge a été fondé par et pour les étudiants canadiens à Cambridge ainsi que pour tous les étudiants intéressé par le Canada. Nous organisons au moins deux événements par trimestre comme des fêtes traditionnelles, des dîners, des forums pour les entreprises internationales recrutant des étudiants canadiens, le grand match de Hockey Varsity, un discours du Haut Commissaire canadien.

Our Crest – Notre Crête

Our crest is a pastiche of Canadian symbols in the context of Cambridge, England. The shield per paly tierce argent around gules. On the top panel a beaver sejant under tree vert. Beneath, the English lion passant or upon a field gules. Below a golden sprig of three maple leaves representing Canadians of all origins on field argent. Upon the shield is a crest, comprised of a wreath of twisted silk gules et argent upon which stands a lion or holding a hockey stick in it's right paw. The supporters of the shield are moose to left and deer right. Behind the shield, a crossing of canoe paddles. At the base, floral emblems of maple leaves vert with the English rose, white on red. Among the paddles is a banner displaying the letters C C C, the Canadian Club of Cambridge. The crest was designed by Hank Liao in 2004.
