A typical issue of Canadian fandom included fiction, poetry, collector's ads, and serious articles on Science fiction. Nils Helmer Frome, editor of the the earliest known SF fanzine in Canada, Supramundane Stories, was also a contributor to Canadian Fandom as was Leslie Croutch, editor of Light, another SF fanzine that began publishing in the 1940's.
