Considered the highest honour in philately, eight Canadians have signed the Roll of Distinguished Philatelists. Of these philatelic celebrities, seven are PSSC members, past and present.
The images in this section were created under contract by Ms. Monica Bodirsky with the Ontario College of Art and Design (OCAD). The original framed portraits line a ‘wall of fame' at the PSSC meeting venue, the Vincent Graves Greene Philatelic Research Foundation in Toronto.
