The Society's roots go back to the 1930's when a small band of Scottish enthusiasts formed the Scottish Canadian Study Circle. After the Second World War in 1946 the Circle re-launched itself under [their] present name [Canadian Philatelic Society of Great Britain]. The aims of the Society include the promotion and study of all aspects of British North American philately. Membership is worldwide and there is, naturally, a strong representation in Canada and the USA.  2, record 1, English, - Canadian%20Philatelic%20Society%20of%20Great%20Britain
