Episode Special: Canadian Air & Space Museum

Recently the Canadian Air & Space Museum in Downsview Park has been evicted by park management.  As the museum works to save its home at 65 Carl Hall Road we take a look at the history which has taken place on the site.  We also take a look at some of the unique exhibits found in the museum.  Find out what exhibits you can’t seen anywhere else but the Canadian Air and Space Museum.

No video this week as we traded that labour budget for this extra special episode. Videos will resume next Sunday (new and improved without those darned titles FROM CANADA).

Check back Wednesday the 28th for Episode #4.
