Help save my Air and Space museum!
« on: December 06, 2011, 10:42:19 PM »
Gentlemen, it's about time I ask for help from this community.

I'm a canuck who is very proud of the aerospace history of Canada. A local park in Toronto has been home to the lone, volunteer-fueled Canadian Air and Space Museum since the 90's. The place used to be a factory for De Havilland Canada. This was where over 1100 Mosquitos were built - from the Mk.VI onward. In September, the museum  were sent an eviction notice by the park and now the community is fighting to keep it there. For the time being, they've been locked out and all their planes - including a Lancaster (FM104) is locked behind closed doors. A local veteran, Philip Gray who flew Lancs from 1943 - 45 has spoken to the media about the travesty and has even called to the Queen for help.

Now, since this is in Canada, I don't know if any of you Yanks or Brits and other non-Canadian gents are able to sign the petition, but take a look at the link below and hopefully you can sign it and help the museum! http://casmuseum.org/

Thanks for reading  :salute

I got an email asking to click a link in order to complete my registration, do I need to do that in order to sign it or just register? When I signed it it did tell me that everything was complete (or something like that), I just want to make sure that I don't need to complete my actual registration.

P.S. I will if needed.

Thank you all so much for your support! I truly appreciate this, especially since I don't know any of you personally  :salute

Machfly, that's fine. If it said everything was completed, that's it. The link is a registration for the website which hosts the petition. I didn't register for anything myself, though I just gave the email.
