Tiny train models, vintage items on display at the Montreal Model Train Exhibition this weekend
Tiny train models and vintage items are on display at the Montreal Train Exhibition this weekend. Hundreds of vintage railway items, many of which visitors are allowed to operate, will be on display at the 36th edition of the Montreal Model Train Exposition this weekend. Since 1989, Ivan Dow has been organizing this model train expo, featuring many of his own collections. 'There's 240 tables of different things to look at and people selling things and modelers and all sorts of fun stuff going on,' he says. For example, families can try operating a vintage train set, says Dow. 'We have ones that they can drive the trains. We have ones on the floor. We have ones a little bit higher up in the air,' he says. Visitors can also marvel at Christian Desrosier's tiny recreation of the West Island train line extending into Hudson, complete with a diorama of Sandy Beach and Jack Layton Park. Hobbyist Georges Barre helped create this train-scape using photographs and satellite views to get the details right. 'The exciting thing with this hobbyist, you can use your imagination and bring your spirit to the layout,' he says. He also says visitors should be on the constant look-out for jokes tucked into the scenes, like tiny people on the roof of a brasserie. 'The staff are up there with the cases of beer, and the firemen are trying to get them down. They're not coming down,' jokes Barre. A handmade train set by CEGEP Gerald-Godin student Marc Provost has working signal lights. He explains how he became a model train enthusiast. 'When I was a kid, I lived right next to the railroad in the area. And then when I moved to Pointe-Claire, right next to the train line,' he says. And this expo has much more than trains. Look for miniature villages, tiny boats and full-size Meccano sets. 'Meccano is alive and well in Canada, mostly in Ontario, and there's several exhibitions in Ontario where mcanulty is shown, and that's where some pretty good model makers are. We have some good ones in Montreal too,' says collector Jim Bobyn. This year's show is a fundraiser for Sun Youth, the non-profit organization offering services from food assistance to emergency care. Proceeds from this weekend will go towards day camp and youth activities. 'It really goes to our kids, our youth programs. So all sports activities, we make sure the kids can have access to activities regardless of their family revenue,' Ann St-Arnaud of Sun Youth explains. Tickets cost $10 for children and $15 for adults. The model train expo is open June 7 and 8 from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Edgar Rouleau Arena in Dorval.

Centennial Academy secures funding for future survival
It's been a stressful year for staff and students at Centennial Academy, with the threat of closure hanging over their heads. But thanks to a coalition of private donors, school will be back in session next year and the foreseeable future, according to the school's director, Angela Burgos. 'The Leger Family Foundation has initiated a coalition with the support of the Molson Foundation and with the support of these foundations. We have been able to regulate our situation and we are going to be good for next year and the years to come,' she said. The school caters to students with learning difficulties, including ADHD and dyslexia, and has developed models that aren't offered in the public system. It moved to its current location on 2075 Sherbrooke St. West in 2020, but the heritage building required significant renovations, and the school's debt grew to nearly $9 million. Burgos said the crisis drew the community together, including the students who demonstrated to save their school. Ellie Girard, 16, who suffers from mental health and learning difficulties, has only been at Centennial Academy for two years, but said it's the only school where she's thrived and she wanted to do whatever she could to support the effort. 'We did a protest recently where we were holding up a bunch of signs. We have no Plan B help because a lot of us, we don't have any Plan Bs,' she said. Girard said she's filled with relief now knowing the school will be open next year. 'I can finish everything without having the anxiety of being a new kid again at another new school. And I get to finish my year here with the teachers that I know and the system that works for me,' she said. But there are still future challenges facing the school, according to Burgos. With the help of Liberal MNA Jennifer Maccarone, they are currently lobbying Quebec for funding for its French sector. In 2008 the province stopped accrediting new francophone private schools, and Centennial launched its French side in 2016, and they make up nearly half of the 300-student body. They are asking for special status for the school since it serves a population with unique needs and has an 80 per cent graduation rate. 'What we're doing is unique and has for many years provided a solution for many families with great successes of students that have gone on to all kinds of careers,' she said, adding that they still have spaces available for the 2025-2026 school year.
