Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. Palliser Toastmasters has been helping people since 1978 as one of a network of public speaking clubs designed to help you become a better speaker and leader. One-time seminars and courses certainly have their place and value, but for a fraction of the cost, why not join a club that meets each week and have fun in the process?

Toastmasters International has designed a program that will give you the skills and confidence you need to effectively express yourself in any situation. Palliser Toastmasters is dedicated to this program, and believes that it is right for everyone. Whether you are a professional, student, stay-at-home parent or retiree, Toastmasters is the most efficient, enjoyable and affordable way of gaining great communication skills. By learning to effectively formulate and express your ideas, you open an entirely new world of possibilities. You’ll be more persuasive and confident when giving presentations, and you’ll improve your one-on-one dealings with others.

Everyone at Palliser Toastmasters started just like you from the ground up. This is not a private club for the elite and distinguished public speakers. New members join all the time, and quickly gain confidence and experience in communicating. Our club environment is friendly and supportive, and the self-paced program allows you to build confidence with each speaking assignment. And you’ll love the applause! Constructive evaluation is the heart of the Toastmasters program. Each time you give a prepared speech, an evaluator will point out strengths and suggest improvements. At first you’ll be applauded for your effort; later you’ll be applauded for your skill.

You won’t regret it. Toastmasters currently has more than 200,000 members in 80 countries. Our club is just one of the more than 10,000 clubs located around the world. For membership meeting information, please see our membership information page.
