Naturalist group celebrates its 1000th meeting
Ontario Nature praises the “Brodie Club” who celebrated its 1000th meeting on February 21, 2006. The celebratory dinner was held at the University of Toronto Faculty Club and was followed by “A Retrospective of the Brodie Club” by long-time member, Dr. Bruce Falls, and an excellent presentation by Dr. Steve Scott, “Volcanoes, Life and Mineral Resources in the Deep Sea”.
A small group of avid naturalists founded The Brodie Club, then known as the Toronto Natualists’s Club, on November 21, 1921. The club's name was changed to The Brodie Club in 1923 in honour of Dr. William Brodie, former Provincial Biologist and a guiding spirit in Toronto natural history circles in the early 1900’s.
