Armed Forces Day 2023 part 2

June 4 was Armed Forces Day and was also our grand reopening after 8 months closed. Our structural issues are shored up, they still require a permanent solution, but it is safe for us to open again. Armed Forces Day provided a wonderful opportunity to reopen, while we would have enjoyed more visitors, we did have almost 300 people come out to enjoy the displays. We thank everyone who came out – visitors and displayers. Donations were plentiful and much appreciated. Just so you know, we have brightened and changed up our galleries as well as rearranged displays in the hangar. The gift shop is also rejuvenated and new stock has been coming in. Please enjoy the video below that highlights the day and lists those who came out to display – including the RCAF and the Canadian Army from CFB Shilo, among others!
