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:

Our speaker, Helen Baggott from Dorset in England, is the author of many stories gleaned from the messages of vintage postcards sent long ago.

Join us to hear this famous Canadian story gleaned from the messages from three U.K. families’ postcards.
