The British Columbia Philatelic Society - better known to its members as the "BC Phil", is the province's oldest stamp club. It began bringing collectors together in 1919, and since 1927 has sponsored the annual VANPEX stamp exhibition. We seek to promote the hobby of philately to as wide an audience as possible, to recruit new members, to mentor new collectors, and to form bonds with other philatelic clubs and the stamp collecting community in general.
