In 1935, a group of Australian and New Zealand businessmen living in Vancouver got together and formed the Australia-New Zealand Association. The purpose of the Association was to meet and welcome visitors from down under, and gather together socially from time to time. A Constitution and a set of By-laws were drawn up, and the group selected one of their number, Mr.Reis Hauge to act as ANZA’s first President.
Of course, this type of popularity couldn’t be sustained. ANZA Travel split from the Association. Pubs started springing up across the city. Membership dwindled. The club started losing money, sold the chalets, and the downward spiral continued through the 80’s into the 90’s. At one point the Association had to look seriously at closing the doors. The club has rebounded in recent years and the future is looking promising to ring in 65 years and more, of business and pleasure.
