The joint Josephian-Peterite Alumni Association of Canada (JPAA Canada) was founded in 1984, as an Ad-Hoc Committee and continued to function in this capacity until 1992. ~~ It was the first Sri Lankan Schools' Alumni Association to be formed in Canada and remains the only joint Josephian-Peterite Alumni Association in the world. This is quite a unique feature in the 31 year-old association that caters to both Josephians and Peterites under one banner in Canada.

In 1993, the Ad-Hoc Committee was structured as a Non-Profit Corporation and governed under a set of Bylaws and Constitution. There have been 18 leaders of this joint organization who have led with purpose and passion to uphold the values of Sri Lanka's two leading Roman Catholic School – St. Joseph's College & St.Peter's College.

The original Ad-Hoc Committee (1984-1992) comprised of Upali Obeyesekere (Facilitator), Benito de Silva, Roy Alles (deceased), Sunimal Perera, Nihal Perera, Jimmy Raymond, Anton Perera, Hamzee Hameed, Laky Ranchigoda, and Lyall Bakelmun.
