Meetings
The London and Western Ontario Branch meets each second Tuesday from March to December (with some exceptions) at 7:00 p.m. at Westmount Library, 3200 Wonderland Road S., London. March is usually a joint meeting with the London and Middlesex Historical Society. Special events include Loyalist Day at Fanshawe Pioneer Village in mid-June with a church service and historical displays.

The programmes of the meetings usually have some aspect of Loyalist history. Meetings in 2008 included Timothy Compeau, a Ph.D. candidate at UWO and winner of UEL scholarship, and Pauline Grodin who spoke about Loyalist women, at the May anniversary luncheon.
