Since 1924, Toastmasters International has helped millions of men and women become more confident in front of an audience. Our network of clubs and their learn-by-doing program are sure to help you become a better speaker and leader. Why pay thousands of dollars for a seminar when you can join a Toastmasters club for a fraction of the cost and have fun in the process?

At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet weekly. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice such skills as speech organization, voice, language, gestures, and persuasion.

The STAND UP AND SPEAK Toastmasters Club of Montreal, Canada  (formerly known as  "Jokemasters  Toastmasters  Club")

At STAND UP AND SPEAK Toastmasters Club we help newcomers overcome their fears of public speaking, as well as giving experienced speakers a program to improve. This is done with the usual Manual speeches from the Toastmasters program. We try to make it FUN as well.

More about Toastmasters International

In October 1924, a group of men assembled by Dr. Ralph C. Smedley met in the basement of the YMCA in Santa Ana, California, U.S.A., forming a club “to afford practice and training in the art of public speaking and in presiding over meetings, and to promote sociability and good fellowship among its members.” The group took the name “Toastmasters.”

Toastmasters International is a non-profit, educational, community organization which gives its members the opportunity to develop and improve their public speaking abilities through local club meetings, training seminars and speech contests.

We meet in downtown Montreal, in the meeting room of Hurley's Pub, 1225 Crescent St. (south of St. Catherine). Meetings are second and fourth Mondays except holidays, and are from 6:30 sharp to 8:30.
