Now on Zoom. It’s been great to connect with our Canada-wide membership.  We enjoy presentations and ‘show-and-tell’ sessions just like when we met in person.  We usually ‘Zoom’ on the 3rd Sunday of each month at 2:00pm Toronto time.

Want to know about membership in the TPC  including our 3 times a year  24 page ‘magazine’ of stories about vintage postcards ‘CARD TALK’. Have a look here.

 

UPCOMING SCHEDULE:

March 17th, 2024 2:00pm – Advertising Postcards.  The  diversity of ‘ad postcards’  that we saw last year when this was our topic was so interesting that we wanted to see more!  Scan your contribution to be ready to show them at our Zoom meeting.

 

April 21st, 2024 2:00pm – ‘The Empress of Ireland – Canada’s Titanic’. Our speaker, Helen Baggott from Dorset in England, is the author of many stories gleaned from the messages of vintage postcards sent long ago. In addition to her many published stories, Helen’s genealogy research helps families to uncover their histories.  Join us to hear this famous Canadian story gleaned from the messages from three U.K. families’ postcards.

 

 

May 26th, 2024 2:00pm – ‘Industry & Commerce in the early 20th century.’   A ZOOM sharing meeting about a postcard from your collection with the story or significance of the activity or place. Farming, fishing, frontier development, other commerce.  Whatcha got?

 

 

June 23rd, 2024 2:00pm – ‘Canadian Sports Postcards’. A selection of “Golden Era” (1890s to 1920) sports postcards from the collection of Joe McNulty (TPC# 1075).  Learn the stories of Canadian champions of hockey, football, baseball, lacrosse, track and field, curling, and rowing/canoeing.

 

 

 

We have a summer break in July and August.  Have a good one yourself!
