Educational Materials on our Site

To get the most from your visit, you may wish to prepare your class in advance. Have your students read and talk about aviation, carry out research, prepare questions or draw pictures. For immersion classes or younger students, it is helpful before the visit to introduce any new vocabulary and technical terms that will be used during the program. Download our Activity Kit (PDF: 27 pages, 1.7MB) which can be used prior to your visit or as a follow-up. Viewing and printing of this kit requires the Adobe Reader, available for download free from the Adobe web site.

Amenities

Teachers are invited to browse through Aeronautica, the Museum’s giftshop, for educational materials on aviation.

There is a small lunchroom and outdoor picnic tables available for students to eat their lunches. Please include a request for these facilities in your reservation request. An on-site catering service is available by calling 613 842-4744.

In consultation with the community, we have developed a special approach for visually impaired students. The Museum is fully wheelchair accessible.
