Northeast Region – Eastern Canada Division
We are saddened to hear of the
passing of William “Bill”
Turczyn of Hampton NB on
May 7, 2022. Bill was an
integral part of the formation
of the Eastern Canada
Division of the NMRA, serving
on the Board of Directors as
Division Liaison. He was an
active member of the
Maritime Federation of Model
Railroaders, and of Saint John
Society of Model Railroaders
serving for a time as the
Secretary Treasurer of that
organization.
Bill was a key player in getting
the division going again and
went way above to make it
happen. In speaking with Bill
these past few years, I learned he
believed in the NMRA and other
modelling organizations because
he knew the importance of being
in fellowship with others. That’s
what makes this hobby so great.
The people.
– Greg Williams, President of the
Eastern Canada Division

We were thrilled to hear that Eastern Canada
Division board members Fergus Francey (L) and Dave Stredulinsky
(R) were awarded CTV News Atlantic’s Maritimers of the Month for
April 2022.
The award was given to them for their tireless work in building a
Thomas-based model train home layout for a young challenged
adult, Scott, shown here with Fergus and Dave.
