The Canadian Association of Railway Modellers (CARM) was formed in October of 2003 to:

• to inspire.
• to foster fellowship among railway modellers throughout Canada.
• to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas and skills between railway modellers.
• to promote the hobby of railway modelling in Canada.
• to be inclusive of all scales and interests.
• to work in co-operation with other organizations.
