CANADIAN
THEOSOPHICAL ASSOCIATION
The
Canadian Theosophical Association (formerly known as the Canadian
Federation
of the Theosophical Society ) has been in operation since 1924. It regroups
lodges and study groups in Canada.
At
the present time, lodges and study groups are found in the provinces of
British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario and Quebec. Members who may not be
able to connect with a local group, are spread across Canada and found
in most provinces. PEI and Newfoundland being the exception where we have
no presence as yet.
Activities
are in the English language in all the provinces where we have a presence.
We
have a French speaking lodge in Magog, and two french
study groups in the Val David and Rosemère areas. All
of the french groups are located in the Province of
Quebec.

other persons.
