The Inaugural Convention of the Canadian Federation of Chefs de Cuisine was held in 1963 in Edmonton at The Hotel Macdonald a Canadian National property. The fledgling Association grew in strength from coast to coast. The 1965 Convention was held in Victoria, British Columbia at The Empress Hotel a Canadian Pacific property. To mark this occasion the First National Magazine was published (Color and glossy Cover). The Convention Pilot Issue was launched on April 4th. 1966.

A regular feature in the Magazine at these times was called “The Great Cartoon Contest”. The Editors comments were: “Each month in this space a situation is created relating to the lighter side of living... in the kitchen. You create the caption”  This cartoon appeared in the June 1967 edition.  The winner was Donald A. Cutler(RIP), Executive Chef, The Palliser Hotel Calgary, Alberta.
