  • About UsThe Canadian Vintage Radio Society is dedicated to the preservation, restoration, collection and enjoyment of antique radios and related items. The CVRS is a non-profit society run solely by volunteers. Proceeds from fund-raising activities and membership fees are used to produce and distribute the publication “Canadian Vintage Radios” and to pro-mote this great hobby. CVRS was founded in 1992 by Nap Pepin in Edmonton Alberta. In 1996 the national headquarters was moved from Edmonton Alberta to BC where it remains to this day.

      All local chapters of the CVRS have Forums dedicated to their membership, but which they may choose to share with others.

    • Suggestion Box
      Tell us how we can improve. We would like the CVRS website to be a constantly evolving and, hopefully, improving place for vintage electronic enthusiasts. Please don’t hold back if you have any ideas we might incorporate or suggestions for beneficial changes. We are interested in hearing from both Forum Participants and CVRS members. The more suggestions and input we receive, the better the website should be for everyone.
