On June 22, the Metro Marine Modellers invite the public to their Give it a Try event on Sunday, June 22, from 10 AM to 2PM at Mississauga’s Lakefront Promenade, near the eastern side of the park by the Douglas Kennedy Headlands Playground. This free event offers a unique opportunity to experience radio-controlled model boating firsthand.

All three divisions of the Metro Marine Modellers will be showcased- as members of the Canadian Radio Yachting Association (CRYA) they divide their fleets into three divisions – sail, scale and static (model building). Members will be on hand to demonstrate, answer questions, and help newcomers try out the boats.
