Our first Remembrance Day Service had just over 100 attending. Over the years, it has grown to thousands. Due to restrictions, this years' service will not have an audience. You will still be able to watch it on CHCH and stream at https://t.co/lV4blPGqnK. Lest we forget.

Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck #785 first flew in 1958 and served at Uplands and St Hubert. In 1981, it was painted all black similar to the prototype CF-100. It’s been on display since 1996 at our museum on long term loan from @avspacemuseum. #tbt #ThrowbackThursday
