Shirlee Schacter sends us this information:
This is one of the most popular events of the year and attendance is always at capacity. The festive atmosphere, the re-kindling with former colleagues and the sumptuous buffet all added up to a fun-filled event. The generous member donations of non-perishable items for the food bank achieved an all-time high. The guest speaker was Deedee Lannon, Past President of National Pionairs, who recapped 2023 accomplishments. Lesley Huether, District Director, presented Bob Newson (left) with an award for his many years of service on the board of both the National and Central District Pionairs.

Hamilton Lancaster VERA hitting the road in 2024. Hamilton’s Lancaster and other warbirds will be taking to the road this spring and summer in a cross-Canada tour. In celebration of the RCAF 100th Anniversary, the Canadian Warplane Heritage aircraft will be appearing at several air shows, coast to coast across Canada, including the Canada Day celebrations on Parliament Hill. More than 7,000 Lancasters were built—430 of them, including the CWHM’s model, at Victory Aircraft in Malton. During the Second World War, a number of Lancasters were converted for passenger use at Victory with a streamlined nose and tail. The variant was called the Lancastrian, and some were used by Trans-Canada Air Lines on its inaugural trans-Atlantic service, before being replaced by the larger Canadair North Star in the late 1940’s. |
