The Canadian Aerophilatelic Society The society provides a number of services, including a quarterly journal; a question-and-answer service for mystery airmail stamps and covers; a small library that can be searched for information on particular topics; and representation of Canadian aerophilatelists at national and international levels.

An Introduction to Canadian Aerophilately The CAS provides a forum for the exchange of information among Canadians who are interested in any aspect of world-wide aerophilately, and for collectors from around the world who are interested in Canadian aerophilately. This is mainly achieved through our newsletter, The Canadian Aerophilatelist, which is published quarterly. If you would like a sample copy of the newsletter, please click here.
