National Air Force Museum of Canada

The National Air Force Museum of Canada is home to over 35 aircraft on display both inside the Museum and in the RCAF Memorial Airpark.

One of those aircraft is the Halifax bomber from the Second World War. The museum has the distinction of possessing the only Halifax aircraft in North America in its collection. It was restored by the restoration team and has been with the museum since 1996.

The museum has a Museum Restoration Shop that provides a behind-the-scenes view of the rebuilding process where they restore vintage aircraft.

Aside from the actual aircraft, the museum offers visitors stories from Canadian Air Force personnel!

Trent-Severn Waterway

Trenton is the starting point of the Trent-Severn Waterway connecting Lake Ontario and Lake Huron!

It is a must-see! The major waterways include Trent River, Otonabee River, Kawartha Lakes, Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching, and Severn Rider.

The waterway has a fascinating history as it was originally surveyed as a military route, with its first lock created in 1833. However, after the Upper Canada Rebellion, the government was left to reexamine the route and ultimately determined it was not suitable for military use. It was then used as a political tool to gather votes and eventually became a commercial waterway.

Today, it is one of Ontario’s major tourist attractions due to its pleasing boating route.
