The Canadian Museum of Flight is delighted to help celebrate and commemorate Queen Elizabeth 11’s 70 years as Queen of Canada, her Platinum Jubilee.
Our Museum will host:
Queen Elizabeth Day at the Museum
Canada Day, July 1.
10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
Free Admission for all!

Our new display: On Canada Day, we will be unveiling a new display called “Aviation and the Crown – A Flight through Time.” As we are an aviation museum, it seemed natural for us to explore the ways in which aviation has supported Queen Elizabeth as she connects with Canadians. As aviation has evolved, royal tours have been able to evolve as well, making it less taxing for the Queen to cross our vast country, and making it possible for her to include smaller and more remote communities on he visits. Particularly northern communities.
Also on that day, as part of the commemoration, there will be audio and video presentations touching on royal topics. There will be a ‘find the Queen’ photo hunt, crafts for the kids, and more.
Free admission!
The Canadian Museum of Flight takes particular pride in making it possible for all segments of our community to have an enjoyable and educational outing. In this instance, we are most pleased to recognize the support of Heritage Canada towards making that feasible.
NOTE: The BOOK NOW function is temporarily not working! Please call to book an appointment time. Thank you for your understanding.

Tour Guides/Docents
Robert Gillcash has stuck up his hand to be our lead tour guide/docent for our general public tours. Thank you, Robert!
Robert says: “I have taken on the role of Lead Tour Guide and the first step I am doing is recruiting a lot of tour guides. Giving tours is a lot of fun, I really enjoy meeting our guests, talking to them, and even helping them learn a lot about our airplanes and how they work.
If you are even slightly interested in doing this, please contact either myself or Bruce Friesen, at the museum.
In addition to recruiting volunteers, I will also be arranging instructions, so you'll know what to say and show along the route. Finally, I'll be arranging schedules for the Tour Guides, so that we have a good amount of guides available on weekends and for private tours. Please give some serious thought to helping our wonderful little museum grow to its fullest potential.”
Please do!


Remembering Rose Zalesky
With profound sadness, the Directors and Members of the Canadian Museum of Flight Association note the passing of Rose Zalesky.
Rose holds a special place in our hearts as her character and commitment were fundamental to the success of our venture. In the 1970s, Rose, along with her late husband Ed Zalesky and three others, had the vision to protect and preserve our aviation heritage. And the organizational skills to collect and document most of what we now so proudly present to the public.
Rose invested many thousands of hours in the administration and management of our collections and of our organization. The evidence of her huge contribution of time, energy and skill resides in our corporate records. In our archives is an immense body of correspondence between Rose and donors, buyers, sellers and CMFT (as it was then) members. Each communication was personal, personable, positive, constructive and professional.
At this time of reflection, each of us is keenly aware that we are standing on the broad and strong foundation to which Rose contributed so much, as we strive to do our bit towards Rose’s passion: “Bringing British Columbia’s aviation past into the future.”
