Canadian Vintage Radio Society
Dedicated to preserving the history and technology of antique Canadian electronics
Praise for the CVRS
My name is Grace Coleman and on behalf of the New Hampshire Stem Club for Girls, I wanted to let the Canadian Vintage Radio Society know your useful links page was a big help to our club! This summer our club is exploring the history of innovations in science and technology with a 'famous inventors and inventions' lesson. The girls are currently learning about the history of the radio and how it impacted society. Your webpage led us to some great information on early radio to incorporate into our lessons, so the girls requested I reach out and thank you 🙂
RECENT NEWS FROM THE CVRS
Changes to CVRS Newsletter Formats
The CVRS Executive Board of Directors has decided to cease providing the option of members receiving ‘Canadian Vintage Radios’ (Newsletter) in printed format, and no new printed format subscriptions will be available with immediate effect. However, all existing printed copy subscriptions will be honoured, with printed copies being mailed to print copy members until their next subscription renewal date, and such members have been contacted regarding this.
The reasons for this decision are many, including the dwindling number of such subscriptions, and issues with printing, copying and mailing the printed format copies. We realize that this may be an inconvenience to such members, however, we hope that all recipients of the printed format Newsletter will consider renewing their membership to receive the (full colour, cheaper and environmentally friendlier!) ‘pdf’ format Newsletter when the time comes.
