Military Museum

You have driven past this airplane many times, but have never actually visited Calgary’s Military Museums. Or you have been there with your kids (or grandkids) but not for a long while. The Club has arranged a three-hour guided tour of the facility just before Remembrance Day.

The Military Museums of Calgary, Alberta is the largest tri-service museum in Western Canada and the second largest military museum in the country.

The Military Museums is home to eight separate museums including the Naval, Army and Air Force Museums of Alberta, the Air Force Cold War Museum, the four museums of the founding regiments, Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians), Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI), The King’s Own Calgary Regiment and The Calgary Highlanders. It also includes the UCalgary Founders’ Gallery and Library & Archives.

The cost for the tour is $20.00 (plus any EventBrite fee) per person, and covers the three-hour guided tour, the use of a break room and you can explore the facility before or after the tour, at no extra charge. We will meet at the front entrance at 12:45 for the tour. Parking is free. The location is just off Crowchild Trail SW. We have asked for a special focus on D-Day, as this is the 80th anniversary of that day. The cut-off for registration is November 1, 2024.
