The Canadian Orchid Congress

The May newsletter was emailed to our members and is now available on the website. Catch up on the latest news. Read about the latest from the COC.

The Canadian Orchid Congress and Montreal/Toronto Judging Centers have launched a new Facebook site under the name "ORCHID JOURNAL".

This initiative was developed to enhance and compliment local society efforts in maintaining information sites and is intended to be used as an orchid community bulletin board. Your orchid society and its members can now post directly to this site - pictures, meeting notices, recognition of special volunteers' contributions, show publicity, etc.

Society Executive not Facebook savvy?? - send show pictures and publicity promos, announcements etc. directly to myself (below) and we will post them for you!

If your Society maintains a Facebook site, please ‘like’ us at Orchid Journal and your site will get the latest in updates from the COC and your orchid community.

Please contact me if you have any questions and/or suggestions!

The COC has produced a set of culture sheets for various genera that reflects the growing conditions found in Canada. Feel free to print these off for yourself or your society. New: the culture sheets are also available in French.

The COC information package was mailed out to the societies in early March - please use it to publicize the work of the COC to your members and use it as an information display at upcoming shows. You can find the electronic versions for making further copies on the COC website here.
