HISTORY OF THE ULYSSEAN SOCIETY

The Ulyssean Society has functioned for 33 years with membership at about 100 women and men in the 55-90 age bracket. We have been granted a federal charitable status.

To date, more than 396 consecutive monthly program meetings have been held, almost all at Hart House on the University of Toronto campus.  Presentations by distinguished guest speakers are followed by a social period and then by the Mosaic, a part of the program organized and presented by members.  Educational seminars and workshops are offered several times a year; cultural excursions to museums, galleries, exhibitions, parks and theatres are monthly events, and groups of members meet regularly for book reviews, film and creative discussion. In 1985 a Ulyssean chapter was formed at Niagara-on-the-Lake and is functioning successfully.
