Centennial Osler Banquet

The Centennial Osler Banquet was, as the name suggests, the hundredth banquet held in honour of the ideals of Sir William Osler. Each of our banquets is a celebration of Osler’s legacy, but this year was particularly momentous for being the hundredth banquet held on McGill’s campus in his memory.

With over 130 guests in attendance, the banquet began with a classical performance by McGill’s string quartet, I Medici. We were then honoured with heartfelt and enlightening talks by many of McGill’s premier staff, including Dr. Guylaine Beadry, Dean of Libraries; Dr. Lesley Fellows, Dean of Faculty of Medicine & Health Sciences; Dr. Rolando Del Maestro, Honorary President of the Osler Society; Dr. Chris Feindel; and Dr. Mario Molina.

We are grateful for the generous sponsors of the 2024 Banquet, namely McGill Libraries, RBC, and the Shash Wealth Management Group of RBC Dominion Securities.

We welcome you to reminisce about the banquet, or admire the photos for the first time.

McGill Osler Society

Established in 1921, the Osler Society is McGill’s oldest student society. In the spirit of Sir William Osler, the Society aims to enrich the education of McGill students in medicine and other disciplines with lectures given by distinguished guest speakers, and with the presentation and discussion of papers concerning Humanities and the Social Sciences in Medicine. Furthermore, the Society puts a focus on developing philanthropy among medical students and on exploring enriching experiences that allow students develop into more well-rounded physicians.
