Welcome to Club M - a non-profit community organization, founded in 1988, dedicated to serving the Mauritian diaspora and friends across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). We provide a vibrant and welcoming "Home Away from Home" and family-oriented space where youth, young adults, families, and seniors connect through weekly active living and wellness programs, cultural and social gatherings, and mutual support. Whether on the sports court or at a festive gathering, Club M brings generations together side-by-side to stay active, share traditions, and foster lifelong friendships.
Our Mandate:
While serving the broader Mauritian community at large, Club M takes special pride in preserving and celebrating our rich Hakka Chinese heritage and Mauritian traditions. We ensure every member—from young children discovering their roots to seniors sharing wisdom—finds a warm, respectful, and supportive network within our club.
