What’s Happening @ The Military C&E Museum

Improbable Escapes is still running at the Museum throughout the fall with an exciting Camp X inspired adventure. Participants are students at Camp X who must put their spy skills to the test and complete a number of spy themed puzzles. We provide you with a trench coat filled with clues and you supply the brains to solve it all! You will decode messages while you sleuth through the museum and uncover the mysteries of the past. This is an excellent team building experience and an activity which lends itself to fun competition. Suitable for adults and children alike. Admission $12.00 per person, free with a valid K-Pass. (Runs from June 2018-June 2019)

If playing a spy is not your thing then how about flying a WWI fighter Plane? The Museum is hosting Ace Academy Flight Experience until November 30th. Be sure to stop on in before it is too late! Players get to fly a virtual biplane using their arms to maneuver the plane on screen where they attempt to become a WWI Ace.  Wheelchair friendly! You can also play Ace Academy and Ace Academy: Black Flight at home for free by downloading the app on the App Store and Google Play.

Coming in December the Military Communications and Electronics Museum will be holding a special family friendly event, Signalling the Season on Saturday December 1st.   There will be a number activities and family fun from 10:00am-3:00pm.  Additionally the Museum will also be hosting the temporary travelling exhibit, Cipher-Decipher from Ingenium.  The exhibit opens December 7th and later in the month the Museum will also be debuting its new permanent WWI display on the Curtis JN-4 Canuck (look for the display opening date in the next issue).
