It is with much disappointment that the Northwestern Ontario Aviation Heritage Centre  (NOAHC)
notifies the public that our scheduled event 'Wings of Time: A Homecoming of the Harvards' 
has been cancelled for this coming weekend , August 10th ,11,
due to unpredictable inclement weather in Southern Ontario where the aircraft are stationed.

Unfortunately, our scheduled rain date for the following weekend of August 17th ,18th,
is also cancelled due to the unavailability of several of the Harvards.
NOAHC plans to  reschedule  this event next summer 2025.

At this time, we wish to thank all our volunteers, and members for all their time and efforts
in helping to organize this wonderful event.
We  also thank our local businesses and individuals for their generous support,
and the local media for helping to promote this fine event.
We would never have been able to plan this event without you! Thank you all so much!

We have confirmed attendance of 4 North American Harvards,
all of which were built here at the Canadian Car and Foundry,
Fort William in the 1950's. They served as Trainers for the RCAF post WW11.

Admission $2.00 per person, $5.00 per family.

The Wings of Time (Harvard) event will be open to the public from
10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Saturday, August 10, and 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, August 11.
The same hours apply to the rain dates the following weekend, August 17 & 18.

The aircraft will be on display at the Air Bravo ramp,
