Greater Toronto Area Philatelic Alliance (GTAPA) – Notice of Dissolution

The Greater Toronto Area Philatelic Alliance (GTAPA) has formally ceased operations effective December 31, 2024.

After more than two decades of promoting philately in the Greater Toronto Area and supporting local clubs through exhibitions, publications, and cooperative initiatives, the Alliance has fulfilled its mandate and has now been dissolved.

Member clubs will continue to operate independently, and collectors are encouraged to stay involved with their local organizations and national philatelic bodies.

On behalf of the GTAPA’s officers and volunteers, we extend our sincere thanks to all member clubs, partners, exhibitors, advertisers, and readers of PhilaJournal for their support over the years.

For archival information about GTAPA and its activities, please visit the Vincent Graves Greene Philatelic Research Foundation’s website and archived GTAPA materials.
