On December 15, 1956, the sectional structure became effective. The Eastern Canada Section encompassed Eastern Ontario and the Province of Quebec, late 1968 a major restructuring took place; by early 1969 the Eastern Ontario Section (EO) was formed with A. Roy Haines as its first chair (Judge, Data Specialist, Referee and Minto SC Administrator). EO was made up from clubs that were previously members of the Eastern Canada and Central Ontario Sections; the boundaries of the Eastern Ontario Section were extended to include Oshawa and Peterborough to the west and Deep River to the North.
