 The Niagara Military Museum and its associated Armoury User Groups are reaching out to ask for your support at a critical time. Please take a few moments to write a letter of support to the Mayor and Councillors of the City of Niagara Falls, helping to preserve the future of our historic site. Why does your support matter? The City of Niagara Falls is currently reviewing its Core and Non-Core Assets as part of broader provincial initiative. The Armoury building—home to the Niagara Military Museum—is currently being considered a Non-Core Asset. This classification puts the building at risk of being declared surplus and repurposed, and there is a real possibility that our lease will not be renewed when it expires in March 2026. Without your support, we may lose an irreplaceable part of our local and national history. How you can help: 1. Review the attached materials, including our story and the petition outlining the significance of the Museum and the Armoury. 2. Sign the petition to show your support. 3. Write a short letter of support to the Mayor and City Councillors, highlighting the importance of preserving the Armoury and the Niagara Military Museum. 4. Send us a copy of your letter and the signed petition so we can include it in our formal submission to the City. Every voice matters. Your support can make a real difference in keeping this community treasure alive for future generations. Thank you for standing with us. Sincerely, Jim D. President, Niagara Military Museum https://www.change.org/p/protect-and-preserve-the-niagara-military-museum 
Anyone interested in going Yorkie? How about travelling to Yorke on Sunday 3 Aug and spending 3 to 4 nights on the Island? We have an outhouse to build! The Master Gunner’s Residence to work on.   Museum Iltis After going through the proper channels, the 15th Field Artillery Regiment Museum and Archives Society was able to secure a donation from the Department of National Defence of the Iltis and trailer. This donation enables the Iltis to be registered and licensed in BC. The Vintage licence allows for it's use in special occasions such as exhibitions, parades, club activities, community events, weddings and graduations. The Ilitis and trailer have been moved from Bessborough Armoury to Aldergrove to allow for easier access to events which seem to be run often in the Fraser Valley. Would you like to be part of the volunteer display team? Send me an email at [email protected] Posted 70+ new photos from the 85VICS Yorke Island Clean Up last May. Big shout out to the gang for all the great work they do preserving the history of the 85th Coast Battery! Check out the photos here.
