Big Club list - Canada Photo Clubs

A major organization in Canada is the Canadian Association for Photographic Art. It is a Canadian based forum for both amateur and professional photographers and they publish a quarterly magazine and offer some services that are similar to some of the services offered by the Photographic Society of America.

Feel free to visit the new WWW site of the Photographic Historical Society of Canada based in Toronto. The site has information on all the club events--photographic fairs, speakers, and other activities, as well as information on the magazine Photographica Canadiana--the PHSC publication. There will be links posted to other photographica sites over the very near future on this site. Also PHSC will accept member classified ads.
