Once again, the CN Christmas Express Train will be running out of Symington on Friday December 4th, Saturday December 5th and Sunday December 6th.  Please see attached poster for more information.  Tickets will be available from Dale Schlag, Sr. Operations Clerk at M Building Monday to Thursday from 0800 to 1600.

Every year there is a CN verses Montreal Canadians Alumni hockey game held in Montreal for charity. This year they are coming to Winnipeg to play instead of Montreal on Nov 7th with all monies raised going to the Children’s Hospital and Winnipeg Harvest. Tickets to the game are available to all employees, pensioners and their families for $10 each, children 10 and under free.  Check out the poster below for more information.

Many thanks to Barbara Lange for coming out today and for being our guest speaker.  Although the topic she presented wasn't what she had originally planned due to circumstances beyond her control, Barbara expertly pulled together another presentation in time for today's meeting.

Barbara informed us about the 2nd book she is busy working on --  about Grand Beach Memories.  She gave us a slideshow with some of the old pictures she has collected thus far from various pensioners.  She also shared with us some of the Grand Beach stories.   No doubt, the slideshow brought back many wonderful memories of those bygone days.

If you have some old photos of Grand Beach and the Beach Train as well as some memories to go with them, please  email Barbara at railwaystories@hotmail.com.  She would love to hear from you.

Thank you Barbara for an excellent presentation.  We are all looking forward to your next book!
