Here is a list of events in southern Ontario of interest to model railroaders.
This calendar is provided without any guarantee of accuracy.
Information is based on flyers obtained at local shows, as well as updates from
show organizers.
Events marked in red are already in the past.
But since most events are annual, you can look forward to next years event.
If you want to take a small child, be sure to bring along a step so your
little one can see the trains on the layouts. Some clubs put their layouts
at eye level for kids, and some clubs have their own steps for kids, but
most do not.

I was in the area during the weekend of the 2007 show. Occupying
all of the local arena, this was a nice show, with representation from a number of clubs
featuring a variety of scales. Worth visiting if you're vacationing in the
Kingston or Gananoque area
in the summer.
