Toronto. Our meeting number 36 by ZOOM (3 years). It’s hard to imagine that just days ago we were still struggling with a nasty winter. As I write this (on the 9th of April) many folks up Ottawa way and over in Southern Quebec (and Montreal) are still in the dark with a severe ice storm earlier causing a lingering power failure due to serious infrastructure damage.

Please note our newsletter needs an editor. Meantime, journal co-editor, David Bridge will send out a brief newsletter in April to announce a few key events. If you would like a personal copy but haven’t joined yet, just drop me a note at news@phsc.ca.
Our membership secretary was unavailable. In his absence president Clint reviewed our current membership. Clint noted that we added two new members this month.
The monthly meeting for April has been posted here and will feature an interesting talk on ‘Vintage Occupational Photographs” by MiPHS own Cindy Motzenbecker. We are holding a consignment/member auction on April 30th with lots potentially accepted at the door. Early lots with photos will be posted here along with dates, etc. later this month.
Our next journal is well underway and will be out as a pdf file (in April or May). Note that it has been decided to move the journal from hard copy to PDF files (more pages, full colour) so be sure you include a working and frequently read email address when you join or renew.
Just smell that spring! Buds promise tree leaves by May. And COVID19 seems to be but a nasty memory for most of us.
PS. Do you like cameras, photos, etc.? Got some spare time on your hands? Well tell us! We can always use help for our many endeavours and positions. Remember, we are a society run by volunteers. Do your part. We can be reached via info@phsc.ca .
