Every Wednesday Daytime Into Early Evening
Heritage equipment comes alive every Wednesday at HCEA Canada’s Members-Only Work Days. These weekly hands-on sessions invite members to the Simcoe County Museum to help restore, maintain, and operate Canada’s historic construction machinery.
Whether you’re passionate about heavy equipment, interested in preservation, or simply looking to reconnect with fellow enthusiasts, Work Days offer the perfect opportunity to get involved.

Preparing machinery for exhibitions and public events
Yard organization, repairs, painting, and technical projects
