I became an Officer of the Canada Society of SAR the spring of 2018. I enlisted at the request of Jerry Hill who's health had been failing. Jerry was a big part of the Canada Society. Unfortunately, Jerry died in June 2018 before I had learned much about the Canada Society and before I had collected most of his files.
Jerry Hill started the Canada Society. The first mention of the Canada Society in the SAR Magazine, that I've found, is in the Summer 2005 issue. The President and Trustee was Robin Tyler, the Secretary and Alternate Trustee was Jerry Hill. Robin continues to be a member of our Society.
The Canada Society has members scattered across the country with the largest concentration in Ontario. We do not currently hold meetings but have this as one of our goals. Our President and Trustee, William Wesley "Wes" Tanner, has been attending the NSSAR Spring and Fall Leadership Conventions in Louisville, Kentucky, where the NSSAR headquarters is located.
