    A friend and I were out for a Sunday morning run on our motorcycles and stopped on quite street to stretch our legs, when a car pulled over to make sure everything was okay. It turns out the two occupants were from the Museum and invited us to come look round the premises, which we did and kindly gave us a ride in one of their restored vehicles. What a great effort they are making to keep Canada's military heritage alive. If you have an interest in military history and or armored vehicles. I encourage you to visit the museum. Thank you Mike and Kyle for your hospitality!

    What an incredible place, Mike is a fountain of knowledge and a fantastic host. So incredibly lucky to find this place, my two sons will be talking about this for years. As will I. There are too few places like this where history is brought alive

    Not your typical museum, Mike has an amazing collection of army vehicles and is more than willing to give a tour.

    The Swords part is a lie. There was quite the lack of swords, rapiers, or any other handheld stabby objects.

    Mike helped me out with a set of tires for my LSVW. His museum is a great asset to military vehicle enthusiasts and owners. Mike's own knowledge is encyclopedic. It's well worth checking him out.

👍👍 Best off-leash dog park in the area. Massive open space with some seating plus a huge amount of trails to explore. There is even a rainbow bridge to post your lost pup's tag which always brings tears to our eyes.
