Reenacting at the Museum
the Museum’s mission is to entertain and educate the public regarding Canadian Military History.
In order to accomplish this mission, the Museum partners with external reenactor groups. The Museum has partner groups that include WW2 German, Allied, and Soviet along with some 18th Century groups.
Bringing Historical Reenactors into the Museum Events bring a level of history and excitement to Museum events that is unique in the world. The Museum brings Period camp sites, Authentic Military Vehicles, Pyrotechnics, Artillery, and Reenactors together for an experience for the whole family.
