Be an Aviator: Family Day 2026

February 16 @ 10:00 am - 3:00 pm

ATTENTION FUTURE AVIATORS!

The skies are calling! Do you have what it takes to fly, lead, and serve? On Family Day, young recruits and their families will march through the National Air Force Museum of Canada on a mission to earn their wings, tackling hands-on challenges inspired by the proud legacy of the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). From past heroes to future aviators, discover what it takes to Be an Aviator.

This Family Day (Monday, February 16th), join us at the NAFMC for our Be An Aviator Program. Participants will earn their wings by completing hands-on challenges inspired by RCAF training methods of the Second World War, including:

• Wireless School (Morse Code)
• Air Navigation School (Constellations)

• Civilian Defence and Air Corps (Aircraft Identification)
• Flight Engineer School (Circuits)

Discovery Stations throughout the Museum encourage participants to explore the history of the RCAF:

• Uniform Dress Up
• Artifact Table
• Board Games
• Engines
• Aircraft Materials

Activities are available from 10:00am to 3:00pm. All children must be accompanied by an adult. Admission is by donation.

The Bay of Quinte RMB Land Acknowledgement

The Bay of Quinte Regional Marketing Board is committed to acknowledging, appreciating and understanding the Indigenous peoples’ historic connection to this land and to raising awareness by building relationships in collaboration with Indigenous partners and communities. 

We recognize and acknowledge that we are living and working on the traditional territory of the Wendat, Mississauga, Anishinaabeg and Haudenosaunee which includes the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka (Mohawks of the Bay of Quinte) with whom we work in direct partnership with. 

This partnership focuses on the common goal of celebrating the region with the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka who are equal partners within the organization and at the Board of Directors table contributing to the mandate and operations.

This mandate includes listening to, learning from, and collaborating with the Kenhtè:ke Kanyen’kehá:ka and actively incorporating their culture and heritage into the practice of responsible destination marketing and management of the region.

We understand that this land acknowledgement is only a small step towards the larger process of reparations and reconciliation.
