The GNRHS was present at the annual Mt. Cheam Lions Club Train and Hobby Show in Chilliwack, BC on October 17th and 18th with a membership table.

GNRHS members Cordell Newby, Tom Carr and Gavin Murray were present to answer questions and to provide information about the Great Northern Railway Historical Society. It was a good event, with lots of visitors coming by the table, and lots of good contacts for future research projects being made.
