TIFF Acknowledgement!
Did you know that CFB Kingston is used for making movies occasionally? The monument vehicles at the MCEM were filmed this spring for the movie He Thought He Died and secured a berth at TIFF! The producers were kind enough to thank the museum and CFB Kingston for permitting the filming to occur at the festival.
Operation Trick and Treat
The MCEM will be open for a hauntingly great evening on October 30, 2023 from 1730-1930. Try our spooky picture scavenger hunt and grab a few treats! Geared for younger children. Email us at info@candemuseum.org for details.
Mercury Shop
It’s early October and even though Remembrance Day is more than a month away our cut off day for medal mounting for Remembrance Day is October 23, 2023! To avoid stress and delays, especially if we have to order items for your medals, we advise bringing them in as soon as possible.
The Mercury Shop makes custom engraved or sublimated items at the shop. Have a special event and want to create something unique? Bring your designs to us and we can place them on glass, ceramics, wood, and steel. We have even engraved leather!
As always, the Mercury Shop has a wide range of military accoutrements available as well as our medal mounting service all year round. Our hours are 1000 to 1530 Monday to Friday.
For more information about any of our other services, please reach out to the Mercury Shop by phone 613-541-5395 or email mercuryshop@candemuseum.org
