Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum


I enjoy visiting the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum. They have the largest group of warplanes in Canada. I have chaperoned students while on an educational tour for grade 6: Science of Aviation. One of the planes I was fascinated to see was the Lancaster Bomber. It is the black plane shown in the background of this picture!

I hope to one day “Experience the Thrill” and take a ride in one of the planes as they offer a
  • Legends Ride Program
  • where you can ride in either a North American Harvard IV or Boeing Stearman PT-27 Kaydet.

    The Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum offer many varied programs both at the museum or they will come out and visit you bringing slide shows or audio/visual presentations. I would like to one day attend the special afternoon of dramatic readings
  • Letters from George Street – Letters from the Jungle
  • .

    My Reading History

    I found a neat feature at the
  • Kitchener Public Library
  • which records
  • My Reading History
  • .


    I love to read and tend to read eventually everything that an author has written. Over time I may forget the title of a book and put it on hold not realizing I have already read it. I would also find this feature helpful when recommending books I have read to my friends and checking the catalogue for new books to put on hold from my list of favourite authors.

    This is a useful feature that requires you to log onto your library account online and activate the "My Reading History" feature by clicking the "Opt In" link. You have the ability to delete any or all materials listed on your Reading History.

    I hope they make this option available at my public library!!!!!!!!!
