RGCWinnipeg's Official Planning Committee
Retro Gamers Convention Winnipeg (aka - Retro Gamers Winnipeg) are a group of passionate retro video gamers. Together, they successfully held the city's first retro video game convention raising money and supplies for local charity. Throughout the year, we plan on holding retro video game events and appearing at local conventions.
