Update To Location Of Air Brakes Course, 25-26 March 2023

Posted on March 22, 2023January 27, 2025 By Mark Anderson

Here is an update to the location of our Air Brakes Course scheduled for 25-26 March 2023.

This course was originally scheduled to run at H.W. Wallace at 5285 Polkey Road. But H.W. Wallace subsequently needed the space for a funeral on Saturday, 25 March 2023.

So we have moved the first day of the Air Brakes Course on 25 March 2023 to the second floor of the Duncan Masonic Temple, 163 Canada Avenue.

We will move back to H.W. Wallace, 5285 Polkey Road, for the second day of the Air Brakes Course scheduled for 25-26 March 2023.
