Toastmasters Open House

Do you dread speaking in front of a group? You’re not alone!

“Speech anxiety is real, and it can feel overwhelming, Toastmasters can help! From learning how to build a speech or presentation, to getting up in front of a group, Toastmasters helps build confidence. Our club mission really says it all, we provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.” says Dan Sider, Club President for Garden City Toastmasters of St Catharines.

On January 23, 2026, at 6:00 pm, local Toastmasters clubs will come together at the CAA Niagara Administrative Office (3271 Schmon Parkway, Thorold) to host a special Open House. This is a great opportunity to meet Toastmasters members, learn about the
program, and see how it can benefit both your personal and professional life.

The evening will feature a Prepared Speech and a Table Topics (impromptu speaking) session—giving you a firsthand look at how Toastmasters helps people grow confidence and communication skills.
