November Meeting – Note Change in Date!

Posted on by

Here’s your reminder that our next meeting has been moved to the day before, Tuesday, November 3rd from 7 to 9 PM due to a schedule conflict with the Legion Hall.  Doors open around 6:45 PM, we recommend you arrive early to facilitate starting on time.

Also, our annual membership dues for 2027 will be increasing to $35, but you’ll still pay $30 if you renew before December 20th as a thank you for your timely patronage.  Click on https://ipmstoronto.com/membership/ to renew now.

At the November meeting, our past President Harvey Low will talk about a Toronto neighbourhood’s lost generation of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice in WW2. Specifically, Harvey will talk about a youth that lived only doors away from his house, almost 100 years ago, who joined as an underage but died in a Lancaster Bomber over the skies of Germany in 1945. The research behind him and the aircraft that he and his crew mates flew and perished in, will be presented by way of a 1/72 RAF Lancaster Bomber, researched with the proper markings and serial numbers. A major component of the presentation was the use of Government and media data to explore the profile of this crewmember as well as others that lived in the neighbourhood and died for their country. A fitting tribute given this month’s Remembrance Day Ceremonies.
