Drivers along the Sir George-Étienne Cartier Parkway may have noticed an impressive number of Canadian flags behind the Canada Aviation and Space Museum lately. The 128 flags were erected at a Flags of Remembrance ceremony on Oct. 7, to pay tribute to the men and women of the Canadian Armed Forces and Veterans. Each flag represents 1,000 Canadian soldiers and RCMP killed and missing in action. The flags are a poignant display of patriotism – and a visual reminder of the cost of freedom.

Intended to replace the Avro Canada CF-100, the CF-105 Arrow was a technical masterpiece at the forefront of aviation engineering during its time. The Canadian government believed, however, that the manned bomber threat was diminishing and that air defence could be better handled by unmanned BOMARC missiles. The contract was cancelled on February 20, 1959 while test flying was still in progress. By then five Arrows had flown. The government ordered all completed Arrows, related documentation

Collecting and Connecting

Jun 30, 2017
Curators do many things at our three museums – research, develop exhibits, respond to research requests, provide content for museum programs, and host the public, scholars and students in our collections. Collecting, however, is our most important activity. Through collecting we create a material legacy for Canadians; through the act of collecting we connect with Canadians and help connect Canadians with each other. Collecting is not just collection building, it is community building.
