June Guided Tour: Water, Water Everywhere!

June 4, 2017 to June 29, 2017. For centuries, Canada's major rivers have acted as highways for northern travellers. Canoes and dog teams were the most reliable transportation in the north until 1924, when a Canadian company called Vickers Canada designed the Vedette. From that point on, waterways became the landing strips for a new generation of pioneers and their bush planes. To see the world's only complete example of the amazing Vickers Vedette flying canoe and other historic planes of the golden age of bush flying, join us in June for a guided tour.. Event Details. Location: 958 Ferry Road, Hangar T-2, Winnipeg
