November, The month of Art and Remembrance at the Alberta Aviation MuseumNovember is a month of great contrasts, a time of preparation for the Holiday season with friends and family as well as a time to Remember all the brave Canadians we have lost in the many conflicts around the world over the last century.
November is a month that needs to be very special and the Alberta Aviation Museum is taking planning on making it very special as a celebration of Arts and Culture while working with our Museum partners to host Remembrance Day services and recognize the accomplishments and bravery of those that have gone before us.
November 8th to 11th the Alberta Aviation Museum will be hosting “Letters in Wartime” produced by RibbetRepublic Theater. Letters in Wartime is a "heart wrenching standout" (SEE MAGAZINE) that brings you right into the eye of World War II, the struggles, the hope and the loss of innocence. From thousand bomber raids to sacrifices made on the home-front, Letters in Wartime is a brilliant exploration of the ramifications of war. Ticket information at
