WMRC to hold it's 2026 banquet and AGM on May 8 at Canad Inns Polo Park

The WMRC will be celebrating another great model railroading season with our annual banquet. We'll be holding our AGM and presenting awards to the winners of our photo and model contests on Friday, May 8, at the Canad Inns Destination Centre Polo Park at 1405 St. Matthews Avenue in Aalto's Restaurant.

Doors open to our members and their guests at 5:00PM. Cocktails and dinner (buffet style or order from the menu) will start at 6:00PM, and the AGM will begin at 7:30PM. We’ll have plenty of our famous raffles featuring some great model railroad equipment, including our popular “arm's length” raffle ticket prizes, where you buy your arm’s length of tickets! Hope to see you all there!
