Established in 1994, Trillium Village Collectors Club is one of Canada's oldest Department 56 collector clubs.  We are based in Toronto but have club members all over the province of Ontario.

The objective of our club is to provide a meeting place for club members to share the joy and excitement of their hobbies and to share display ideas featuring their favourite collectibles.  All collectors and retailers of Department 56 Village and Holiday products are welcome to join the club.  Club membership also includes an informative newsletter mailed physically or electronically to each club member every other month.  Membership form is available for download on the "About Us" page.

Trillium Village Collectors Club is a not-for-profit organization.  Although we appreciate support from our retailer members, the club is not affiliated with any Department 56 retailers.

Condolences to the Morris family

john morris

It is with sadness that we learned of John Morris, a long time member of the Trillium Village Collectors Club, passing on September 18th.   He has been ill for the past few years.  Here are a few words written by our member Helen in memory of John.

John & Kay have been active members of Trillium Village Collector's Club for over 19 years, joining on March 29th 1995, and had been on the Famous Bus Trip to Chicago.

John also belonged to the Dickens Fellowship of Toronto, where he was made an Honorary Member and was a Very Active member there also.

John was one of the most knowledgeable persons on the subject of Dickens and he collected lots of memorabilia on Dickens era.  John and Kay had their Dickens houses, which came up for display every Christmas, for friends to see, and their enjoyment of our precious little houses

We will all miss John, and his unbelievable knowledge of Dickens
Helen
