Due to COVID-19 restrictions, many of us will experience smaller holiday festivities this year — without a large group of family and friends around us. Similarly, the Canada Aviation and Space Museum has traditionally hosted an array of children’s activities during the holiday season. Unfortunately, health restrictions prevent us from staging in-person events on site.
That’s why museum staff have created this Special Delivery collection for the holiday season…offering you fun activities to do at home, along with cool, historical stories about Canada’s rich aviation history! Join us for a historical “flypast” of Canada’s first airmail deliveries, assemble 3D models of famous aircraft, and make your own edible biplane — from cookies and candy.
