New sets are available now via mail order from the Canadian Modeling Association for Meccano & Allied Systems (CMAMAS). See their website http://www.cmamas.ca/ under "For Sale Through CMAMAS".

If you wish to locate Canadian retail stores, I suggest that you contact the Borgfeldt company - they are the importer of Meccano in Canada and can give you information. They are wholesale only however!

This web page will give you a list of Canadian retailers: http://www.borgfeldt.ca/meccano/intro.htm

This Canadian retail chain has stores across the country. They don't sell Meccano parts, but they are an excellent source of inexpensive electric motors for use with Meccano models.
