On May 4th, 1958, the first CPA Bristol Britannia turbo-props launched the airline's transcontinental service.

The "Whispering Giants" flew regularly between Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg and Vancouver. Flight 1 westbound, piloted by Captain Harvey Johnson, took 9-1/2 hours while flight II eastbound, piloted by Captain J. K. Potter, took 55 minutes less.

The CP Air Communications Advisory Group was formed in July 1978 and the first meeting was on July 22nd, at Toronto. The Group met at the Airport Inn, Toronto during March 1979 to review the forthcoming advertising and employee communications programs. Our photo is of the group.
