The Toronto Aerospace Museum invites all former Avro and Orenda employee's, family members and the general public to the event of the year!

We are happy to honour the Canadian Military Remembrance Society this month - the Canadian Military Remembrance Society (CMRS) was formed in early 2005, the year of the Veteran, to remember and honour those who have served in, or are currently serving in, Canada's military forces. The CMRS is active in the BC lower mainland parades - they will be in New West during May and other locations during the rest of the year.

AvroLand is happy to announce that the Toronto Aerospace Museum has completed their full size replica Arrow after nine years and thousands of hours by dedicated volunteers! You can now touch a full scale replica in Toronto ....more info click here
