We are pleased to announce that the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada is preparing to move to a
stunning new location. Effective October 24, 2018, the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada is no longer
operating at our current address as we begin this exciting transition. Plan your visit soon!

The Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada team thanks our visitors for their support and belief in our
organization. This is a unique and transformational time in our museum’s history.
Early in 2018, the Museum received final confirmation from our landlord Exchange Income Corporation (EIC)
with regards to their future planning and, concurrently, when the Museum would need to relocate. As a
result, we are sharing with you that the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada no longer operates at this
address effective October 24, 2018.
We want to assure you that EIC has been an excellent partner and has allowed the museum to stay 19 months
longer than the original timeline. We are most grateful for their flexibility and understanding while being a
champion and major donor for the new museum.

About Our New Location:
Our project is “shovel ready” and we forecast to be breaking ground this fall with an anticipated 18 months
until we open the doors to our stunning new location in the heart of the Winnipeg Airports Authority campus.

Current Members:
If you are currently a member of the Royal Aviation Museum, there are four ways to have the remaining
portion of your membership recognized:
1. Hold your membership (at the current rate) and be entitled to be the first members at the new
museum. This option also allows you to be on the list for any early opening trials/activities/events. For
example, if after October 24, 2018, you have four months left on your existing membership, you’ll have
four months of membership when the new museum opens its doors.
2. Donate the remaining portion of your membership to the Museum – we welcome support for our
transitional period or towards the capital & endowment campaign.
3. Rebate – the Museum will refund the remaining portion of your membership.
4. (New since last week’s membership email – a suggestion from a member, thank you!) – allow your
membership to continue on its current timelines and renew at the same time you normally would so
that you continue to support the museum while we are in transition.

Until next time, thank you for your ongoing support of the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada and we
look forward to connecting with you in the weeks and months ahead.
