The society was formed in 1919 as the Winnipeg Stamp Society which changed its name to the Canadian Philatelic Association in 1920 and to the Canadian Philatelic Society (CPS) in 1923.[1] The society received permission to adopt the "Royal" title in 1959.[1]
National organised philately in Canada started with the founding of a separate organisation, also called the Canadian Philatelic Association, in 1887.[1] The Philatelic Society of Canada was formed in 1891 and in 1894 the Dominion Philatelic Association was formed.[1] By 1903 all were inactive and no national philatelic organisation existed in Canada until the Winnipeg Stamp Society became the new Canadian Philatelic Association in 1920.[1]
Despite name changes and periods of inactivity on a national scale, many of the same individuals are to be found in the different societies, and the 1925 yearbook of the CPS shows Henry Hechler and Ernest Frederick Würtele to be members, both of whom had been members of the original Canadian Philatelic Association.[1]Alfred F. Lichtenstein was also one of the 285 members in 1925.[1]
