Big Events in November!

November will see a number of events at/for the museum, so mark your calendar!

November 5th at 1:30 pm will feature renowned author, Ted Barris, presenting a talk related to his latest book, The Battle of Britain: Canadian Airmen in their Finest Hour. Barris is the author of many best selling books, including Behind the Glory (about the BCATP), Dam Busters, The Great Escape, and The Battle of the Atlantic. Copies of his new book will be available at the talk for purchase (also available at Indigo/Chapters and Amazon) and Ted will do some signing as well which will take place in the CATP Museum’s historic Canteen! This event has FREE admission, although we encourage a donation to the museum. Merchandise from our gift shop will also be available for sale.

The second big event is a concert by the Mark Humphries Orchestra at the Westman Centennial Auditorium on Sunday, November 10 at 1:30 pm! Listen to music of the 1940’s! A big bonus – all proceeds go to the Museum! Come out to hear some great big band style music and support Brandon’s best kept secret at the same time! Tickets available soon at the WMCA!

Finally, come on out to honour our veterans on Remembrance Day, November 11 from 1 – 4 pm. We will be hosting a FREE open house (donations welcome!) This will be our last open day of the season, we will close for winter on November 12, re-opening in the spring. Spend some time reflecting at the Memorial Wall and check out our exhibits before our doors close for winter. Note that this open house is dependent on weather, the museum closes in winter out of an abundance of caution in case snow builds up on our roof. All donations will help us keep operating and move towards a permanent fix for the hangar.
