The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum is a living museum featuring the aircraft used by Canadians or Canada's Military from the beginning of World War II up to the present. The Museum's collection includes aircraft that really fly and several that remain on static display and are interactive workshops.

The museum strives to allow the visitor to experience and interact with our displays. One could climb into the cockpit of a real WWII trainer or a real jet fighter, our Avro CF-100. There are interactive flight combat simulators which will surely test the flight skills of any aspiring aviator. The Museum also offers the visitor an educational experience that will take them back through Canadian history. The Museum has interactive video displays, movies, photographs and memorabilia from Canadian History.

The CWHM is a non-profit organization whose mandate is to aquire, document, preserve and maintain a complete collection of aircraft that were flown by Canadians and the Canadian military services from the beginning of World War II to the present. Our role is to preserve the artifacts, books, periodicals and manuals relating to this mandate.

Please Note: If you are coming to see a particular aircraft in our collection, it may be one of our flying aircraft. Please call 905-679-4183 between 9am-5pm to be sure that ‘your aircraft’ will be here on display. Our airshow season is primarily between May and November.
