Derelicts

In the late 40s, Ontario fandom was centered around the Toronto Science Fiction Society and the fanzine Canadian Fandom, and called themselves "The Derelicts". They had become moribund when Boyd Raeburn and friends revitalized the Society in 1953, calling themselves "The Derelict Insurgents". Besides fanzines, the Insurgents were known for their liking of Beat poetry, jazz, leather jackets and fast cars. They were affiliated with the CSFA.
