ERC Club Meetings:

The ERC’s club meetings are free and all ages are welcome!

Come join us and meet other people interested in model rockets, join in our group discussion about anything rocket related, find out about upcoming rocket launches and other events, get help with your model rocket builds, and enjoy or participate in our “Rocket Show & Tell” presentations towards the end of each meeting.

Please Note:

Our club meetings are normally held at Telus World of Science. However, some meetings may be held over Zoom video conferencing. To check on the location or to receive the zoom link to join, please email us at: erc@edmontonrocketry.net 

ERC Model Launches in Calmar, AB:

PLEASE NOTE: Our launch location in Calmar is located on private property and unless it is pre-booked by the ERC with the property owner and permission is granted to us, the field is not to be accessed outside of our club events! This means rocket launching is not permitted unless it is during one of our posted Model Rocket Launch dates and times.

The ERC Model Launches are being held in Calmar, AB, approximately 23 minutes from West Edmonton. Everyone is welcome to attend! 

All you need to bring is your model rocket, motors and igniters. Launch pads, controllers and ejection wadding will be provided.

Launch Site Location:

Large open field next to the Royal Canadian Legion parking lot, 4815 – 47 Street, Calmar, AB T0C 0V0

Launch Fees (for the day):

Our Calmar launch site is covered under CAR (Canadian Association of Rocketry) insurance and the cost of $5 (for the day) per Non-CAR member will be collected at each model launch in addition to the ERC launch fee. The below prices are for the day and include both fees where applicable, up to a maximum of $10:
