November 7th in Canada marks the day in history that the last spike was driven into the Canadian Pacific Railways (CPR) at Craigellachie, British Columbia in 1885. From that moment, Canada has been united and rail has become one of the most important and valuable modes of transportation while delivering people and goods safely and efficiently.

To commemorate this special day in history and to celebrate our industry, CARS has hosted a National Railway Day Conference each every year, beginning in  2014. As CARS is constantly growing, so are the events! Since  National Railway Day 2019, the Conference includes a Trade Show component where industries have an opportunity to profile their goods and services.
