"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what
we give."
The Sir Winston Churchill Society of Edmonton isn't just about the things Winston Churchill did in the past. It's about his convictions, his wit, his power to inspire and how those qualities are necessary for our community today. With Churchill as an example, we want to inspire leaders, young and old, as we rise to meet the challenges of tomorrow.
