The Canadian Forces Museum of Aerospace Defence (CFMAD) is celebrating its 25th anniversary year with another new exhibit. An exciting opportunity to showcase a history very different than what CFMAD normally shares, “Worthy: The History of the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps” is on loan from the Ontario Regiment Museum in Oshawa, Ontario. “Worthy” highlights a Canadian Army story rather than one from the Royal Canadian Air Force. The exhibit consists of banners and artifacts about tanks and other armoured vehicles, reflecting more than 100 years of Armoured Corps history in Canada from the First World War to modern day. The Canadian Forces Museum of Aerospace Defence is located at 22 Wing/Canadian Forces Base North Bay. Summer hours are Tuesday to Friday, 12:00pm to 4:00pm, and Saturday, 10:00am to 4:00pm. Admission is by donation. “Worthy” will be on display until October. For more information about the museum, please visit www.aerospacedefence.ca or call 705-494-2011 ext 2261.
