Ottawa, Canada Rideau Club Full time

**THE CLUB**

Rideau Club is a private, member club in downtown Ottawa with a unique and prestigious history dating back to 1865. The Club predates Confederation by 22 months, and the establishment of Ottawa as the centre of Government by a month.

The Club, from its inception, had a distinguished membership, which continues to this day. Besides Sir John A. Macdonald, two other Prime Ministers, the Right Honourable Sir Robert Borden, and the Right Honourable Lester B. Pearson, served as presidents of the Club. Today, the Governor General of Canada, the Prime Minister, the Speaker of the Senate, the Speaker of the House of Commons, and the Chief Justice of Canada are Honourary members of the Club.

The first permanent Club building was constructed in 1875, but by 1911 the membership had outgrown this facility. A new building, on the corner of Wellington and Metcalfe Streets was constructed in 1911 and remained the home of its members until a fire destroyed the elegant edifice in 1979. The Club subsequently established new premises at its present location on the top floor of 99 Bank Street and just steps away from the Parliament buildings.

Our exceptional food and beverage experience is as unforgettable as the view from atop 99 Bank Street. The Club boasts ten serviced areas including an informal à la carte bar area seating 50, an informal lounge area seating 80, a formal à la carte dining room for up to 120, five private dining rooms seating twelve to 80 people, a billiard room, library, and business centre.

In addition to à la carte dining, the Club hosts for its members a variety special events including feature dinners on most holidays, a selection special event dinners, annual celebration dinners, wine dinners, etc. The Club also has a robust catering event calendar which includes weddings, anniversaries, meetings, as well as charity and embassy events.
