Zoom meetings allow us to connect our Canada-wide membership. We enjoy presentations or a ‘sharing’ discussion around a topic, usually on the 3rd Sunday of the month at 2:00pm Toronto time.
Why join the TPC? We offer a 24-page ‘magazine’ ‘CARD TALK’ three times a year with stories about vintage postcards, a 40-year archive of this journal for members only, monthly meetings and a community of knowledgeable historians and deltiologists. Look for more membership information here.
