AGM Toronto Hunt Club
The area around The Toronto Hunt Club was known as The Birch Cliff area and began to be developed in 1895, when the Toronto Hunt Club relocated here.
Fox Hunts were held at this club up until the 1930's, when golf became the memberships preferred activity a fine course too. In the late 1890's and early 1900's many Toronto residents built summer homes on the property adjacent to the Toronto Hunt Club. These families were attracted to the area by the magnificent Scarborough Bluffs.
A history of the Scarborough area can be found by
IW&F Foundation of Canada Award winners Richard Arnold and Mariam Streiman.
Special thanks to member Marcel Bregstein (a Marathon runner) of the THC for his great dexterity with a sabre in opening bottles.

This year’s Annual General Meeting of Members and dinner was extra special – a great venue, breathtaking food and first-class wines from the IW&FS cellar. 
The Toronto Hunt’s lawn on the Scarborough Bluffs offers a spectacular view over Lake Ontario and Chef Darin Fedak prepared an outstanding meal. The dazzling talents of the Toronto Hunt’s staff were clearly being put to the test and they didn’t miss a beat. I want to take special note of the serving Staff, both courteous, unobtrusive and very professional, there has been some serious training going on at the THC. As a guest you lacked nothing. 
Some of these fine young people in their futures will be running his Country as our top Professionals in their chosen fields.
During the AGM Toronto Society regalia was issued to new members who had not previously received it.
Awards were presented to
this year's George Brown Chef School’s top graduate from the Culinary Management Course at the College.’ Ms. Miriam Streiman and.....
Richard Arnold this year's top graduate in the Sommelier Qualifying Course at the The Canadian Association of Professional Sommeliers (CAPS). 
The awards were given by Bill Whiteacre, as President of The International Wine and Food Foundation of Canada, who presented each of them with a framed Scholarship Certificate and The Foundation's medal. Doug Colbourne, as Treasurers of The International Wine and Food Foundation of Canada, presented each of them with the Foundation's Scholarship Cheque.
The membership offered vital and enthusiastic suggestions from the floor as to next years program and they were all welcomed to make the IW&FS Toronto responsive to your requests and the best it can possibly be.
The wines and dinner were superb in an outdoor setting of outstanding natural beauty, a Toronto gem. The Toronto Hunt Club’s Staff put on a show to rival the excellence found at the Cirque du Soleil, bottle decapitation with sabre is unique. Thus a special thanks to member Marcel Bregstein of the THC for his great dexterity with a sabre, he does it both with style and aplomb.
Clearly from the feast’s perspective the ‘piece de resistance’ was Chef Darin Fedek’s Lamb, succulent, substantial (from Washington State), served pink to perfection and hot, which is difficult to do in an outdoor cool summer evening situation. The Chateau Corbin-Michotte was a match made with great knowledge and understanding of the wine its age and maturity, clearly a superb combination. As I write this, thinking about the meal I am salivation to do it all again.
Thank you David Jarvis and Chef Darin Fedek!
