The Base Borden Military Museum houses a large collection of weapons, uniforms, military vehicles, aircraft and peacetime mementos, heritage buildings and a memorial park. Half of all Canadian soldiers who served in two World wars were trained at Camp Borden, which is also the birth site of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The history of the Canadian Armed Forces is on display and open to the public. Located on an active military base just outside on Angus, Ontario, Canadian Forces Base Borden was named for the late Prime Minister Borden who founded the base in response to Canada’s participation in World War One.
Visitors can explore various aircraft, including those displayed at the Hangar 11 Air Annex, a restored First World War aircraft hangar and the birthplace of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
The Base Borden Military Museum is affiliated with the Canadian Museums Association (CMA), Canadian Heritage Information Network (CHIN), Ontario Museum Association (OMMC), and the Virtual Museum of Canada.
