Philatelic Specialists Society of Canada

I received a request to prepare the introductory message this month in President Bob Vogel’s stead as he did not feel up to it. Please join with me in wishing Bob a speedy recovery. CAPEX 22 successfully concluded on Sunday 12 June 2022.

The world’s first International One-Frame Stamp Championship Exhibition has been proven as a viable exhibition format and received overwhelmingly positive feedback thanks in a very large part to the efforts of PSSC members who served as organizing committee members, commissioners, jury members, volunteers, bourse dealers, representatives of the many different participating societies, seminar leaders & presenters, exhibitors, donors & sponsors and attendees. Thank you All!

The Novapex 2022 national exhibition will be held at the East Dartmouth Community Centre, 50 Caledonia Rd, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia 19-21 August. PSSC member Jane Sodero is the Exhibits Chair and welcomes new applications until 1 July.

The CPS-2022-BNAPEX will be held in Calgary on Labour Day weekend 2-4 September. This exhibition combines a national exhibition conducted by the Calgary Philatelic Society with the annual BNAPEX exhibition and BNAPS convention. Applications are open for either the CPS 2022 national show or the BNAPEX 2022 or both until 30 June. PSSC will have a meeting and presentation in conjunction with CPS-2022-BNAPEX with a presentation by PSSC member, Calgary exhibitor and author, James Taylor.
