The Canada Aviation and Space Museum is launching commemorative content on its website, starting on Thursday, November 5. 

The museum's programming will include virtual commemorations, music, photographs, poetry, and activities that reflect Canada's wartime history.

The facility itself will also be open to the public for Remembrance Week activities from Thursday, November 5 until Wednesday, November 11. 

Advance tickets are required and can be purchased here. 

In the meantime, the NAC is joining Canadians in remembering the First and Second World Wars with virtual 'Letters from the Great War' (link) musical and theatrical performance, online activities and commemorative digital displays.
