Hello there, my reading friend. As we all move along the month of April, enjoying the rites of spring, yours truly thought that a feel good story might not be a bad idea. What say ye? Good. Let us proceed then. Once upon a time, in late 1946 or early 1947, a number of teenagers and young adults, both female and male, were taking lessons at a skating school. Many of the male skaters were taking flying lessons, or already had a pilot licence. Some of these young men openly bragged about their

As a student in the Game Development program at Algonquin College, I never thought I’d be working on my final, cumulative project at a museum! Perhaps I should give you a little bit of the back story. Thanks to a partnership between Algonquin College and the Canada Aviation and Space Museum, a space simulation game in Virtual Reality (VR) is benefiting from the interactive feedback of museum visitors.

How are you today, my reading friend? I ask you this question, with some trepidation perhaps, because I chose to stray further away from the one true path to illumination, that which leads to an understanding of all things aeronautical and spacey. Even though yours truly readily admits that I loathe computers with every fibre of my being, I found myself strangely attracted to this week’s topic, but back to our story, which is pretty cool. Lets us begin our exploration with a quote, in other

In the late 1800s, Canadian cities were in the process of a major transition due to great population increases, industrialization and a growing middle class. Toronto was no exception, and in terms of its population size and industrial production, was second only to Montreal in these years.

Top of the morning to you, my reading friend. Yours truly hopes to have found a subject that you will find interesting, original and innovative in a July 1958 issue of the weekly Le Petit Journal of Montréal, Québec. Let us begin this story without further ado. Once upon a time ... Uh, yes, I admit that the formula is not original but the content below should be. May I continue now? Thank you. Once upon a time, say I, there lived a young Franco-American, an example among many others of the
