The Canadian Air and Space Museum at historic Downsview is threatened with closure and eviction!
The museum is on the former site of the De Havilland factory, where Mosquito aircraft were assembled during the war years, - the aircraft playing a vital role in the outcome of the Second World War. The Museum plays a vital role in representing the airmen's heroism and sacrifice at that time, and brings the heritage of the Canadian air industry to the attention of today's generation.
Please help to avert the closure by doing one of the actions listed below:
Please fire a note off to federal ministers about the closing and future eviction of the Museum, - take a moment to learn the facts and then let the Canadian government reps know how you feel about it. [casmuseum.org] Our common bond is aviation history. Take a moment to make a difference in a cause that matters to you. You can send a single email to all of those noted below:
