Trans Canada Airlines (TCA) was formed by the Canadian National Railways. They launched their first flight on September 1, 1937, between Vancouver and Seattle. Throughout the next 25 years, TCA became Canada's national airline, and on January 1, 1965, TCA changed their name to Air Canada. This particular pin is fastened to a cardboard with other TCA pins. The text on the cardboard was written by Mr. Lalande and by Mr. Hal Walker, both from TCA/ Air Canada. The cardboard is dated November 21, 1967 and it has 14 pins attached to it with a brief note as to relevance of each pin. It seems as though there are maybe 10 pins missing, since there are annotations and holes where a pin would have been. - Function
