The Canadian Northern (Meeting Creek) Historical Society – operating as the Canadian Northern Society - has been active in preservation of a collection of heritage railway stations and associated property and artifacts since 1987.
We are a volunteer-driven organization; reliant upon our members, executive, and communities for support. We are very proud of the award-winning preservation efforts undertaken through the years, as an example our Meeting Creek Heritage Railway station site has been described as “the most authentic preservation of a grain elevator, railway station, and station grounds – complete with an original section of the Canadian Northern Railway – anywhere in Canada.
The CNoS is administered by a volunteer board and has 2 part-time staff helping with administration and maintenance.
