The WOD BBQ will be held on Tuesday August 5, 2025 at Springbank Park near the train. The Event will start at 11:00 am. If raining, the group will use the covered area nearby.

After the lunch a short meeting is planned along with at least one layout tour. There will be some door prizes at that time. Full details will follow later in June.

Summary

The WOD is now scheduling Virtual Clinics using a ZOOM account. WOD Members, other NMRA division members and eligible non-members may attend free of charge. The ZOOM account can handle 100 simultaneous participants. Access is a first-come-first-enrolled basis.

WOD Members will receive information via email. Please ensure your email account is up-to-date. You can email Registar@nmra-wod.ca with any changes. Please include your name, email address and NMRA number. Also CC Secretary@nmra-wod.ca in the email.

The WOD organizes educational meets and clinics at various venues within the division. These are usually held 2 to 3 times during the September to May period. A major benefit of your NMRA membership is that it entitles you to attend an NMRA function in any Region or Division without paying any more membership dues. There may be a charge to cover costs of the event itself. If you live near the borders of the WOD we encourage you to participate in events in the adjacent divisions.
