Default Swiss Chris visits Canada

Grüezi from Switzerland

After several trips to Aussie in the recent years I think it's time to visit the homeland of all Blitzes: Canada

I'll be travelling around 3 weeks between Toronto - Montréal - Québec, starting June 24th, flying back July 13th. And of course, there will be a reunion with Max & Kathy, who will be coincidentally travelling around Canada too.

Are there any MV meetings, airshows, tractor field days, V8 meetings etc going on during my travel time?

And, of course, I'm very keen to meet some Canadian MLUers, so I can put a face behind a name, see their beauties, have a chat etc etc.

I haven't made a fix travel plan yet, so I will be open to any suggestions.

See you soon
Chris

Default Excellent

The Canadians are pretty decent hosts, as you'll no doubt find. Only downside is there aren't as many CMPs over there.
The most interesting aspect I think is their CMPs are generally so different to ours.

Default Border Raid - Advance Notice

Hi Chris,

That's great news you are coming to visit Canada. (email sent)

A good starting point for you would be the OMVA show in Oshawa on Saturday June 25. If you can get a Ford out of OZ, maybe you will find yourself a Chev here.

Looking forward to meeting you.


Brian

I agree with Brian. If your schedule permits, a quick visit to Ottawa should be contemplated.

And just in case you are looking for another Ford, stop by the Hammond Barn. We have a rather (in)famous Ford that is looking for a new home. The Hammond gang remains Chev-centric and the Ford is nowhere on the radar for restoration.

It really does not matter where you go in Canada, you will meet some very nice people and will enjoy the landscape. Happy trails!

1812 reenactor event in upper Canada VBillage around that time...no CMPs of course, but may be of interest (near Kingston) also.. a couple of events aound july 1 (Canada Day) with some MV participation...one involving the swords and ploughshares group... between Kingston and Ottawa.

As far as i know there is no organized club or group in Quebec, and collectors and vehicles are scattered and not in close contact.. not many from Montreal and Quebec City on this forum.
