Featured site of the week:

We are happy to honour the Canadian Military Remembrance Society - the Canadian Military Remembrance Society (CMRS) was formed in early 2005, the year of the Veteran, to remember and honour those who have served in, or are currently serving in, Canada's military forces. The CMRS is active in the BC lower mainland parades and veterans effents. Avroland is looking to work with the CMRS in 2009 to present a new display as part of the 60th anniversary of the first flight of the Avro C.102 Jetliner and the 50th anniversary of Black Friday when Canada lost the CF-105 Avro Arrow!
