About Us
The May Court Club of Oakville is a volunteer women’s organization that provides services and funds to our community.
Our focus is on women, children, and seniors. We are the gold standard for volunteerism in our community. We are Canada’s oldest service organization, established in 1898. We have been in the Oakville community since 1956. We have stood the test of time and have continued to grow over the years to over 240 members strong.
Because we are 100% volunteer-run, we have minimal administration fees, and the funds we raise go directly to our community and stay in our community.
Much of the club’s work has focused on society’s most vulnerable. Since 1956, the May Court Club of Oakville has donated countless hours and significant dollars in Oakville and neighbouring communities within the Region of Halton.

ABOUT US
The May Court Club of Oakville is part of The Association of May Court Clubs of Canada, which was the first service club in Canada, founded in 1898 on the eve of May Day in Ottawa, Ontario. May Court’s founder, Lady Isabel Aberdeen, the wife of Canada’s then Governor General, was a truly extraordinary woman.
