About

MRO Canada will be held on March 4th and 5th, with a sneak a peek reception at 19:00- 21:00 on Tue March 3.

The MRO Canada 2026 Trade Show offers an excellent opportunity to strengthen existing relationships, connect with prospective customers and expand your access to new markets. Within the same venue, the Western AME Conference will be providing airworthiness updates and training/education for AMEs, with certificates issued for CAR 573.06. Registration through either the Trade Show or Conference will be badged differently but gives attendees access to both events. Looking ahead, MRO Canada will be held in Montreal in Q1 2027.

About your host: the Western AME Association (‘WAMEA’)

WAMEA is a non-profit organization that exists to promote the AME career profession through outreach initiatives including school visits and community events. An AME’s path to membership to AMEC (Aircraft Maintenance Engineers of Canada) and TEAC (Techniciens D’Entretien D’Aeronefs du Canada) can only occur through membership of one of the six regional associations in Canada, including WAMEA.
