The CAHS has nine chapters across Canada and each would love to see you at their next meeting, whether you’re a member, guest, or visitor!

Chapters regularly schedule speakers and presentations on a wide variety of aviation subjects, as well as book launches and organized tours to local aviation sites and events. Many also create newsletters available only to members.

A sense of community is an important part of your CAHS membership, but we’re only able to meet nationally once per year at the convention. For a nominal chapter or “landing” fee, though, you can enjoy the company of fellow aviation history buffs and learn about Canada’s fascinating history in the air all year round.

Regina ChapterOur chapter is named in honour of Roland Groome – the first commercial pilot in Canada, a member of the Royal Air Force in the First World War, and a founder of the Regina Flying Club – and we strive to represent all these areas of aviation!

To do this we’ve established ties with the Saskatchewan Aviation Council, the Airport Display Committee, and played a role in the launch of the Silver Dart stamp in 2009.

We also explore Saskatchewan’s rich and varied aviation history through our monthly meetings. These gatherings range from our popular film and photo nights to guest speakers from around the province and beyond. Past topics have included:  military careers and continental air defense; international museum collections; radio-controlled aircraft races; civilian flying operations and entrepreneurs.

The monthly newsletter, Windsock, records these fascinating talks and events, and provides articles, announcements, and other notable aviation news.

We invite everyone to come out and enjoy an evening with fellow aviation enthusiasts.

PEI ChapterOur chapter – the Carl F. Burke MBE Chapter – celebrates and promotes the history of aviation in Prince Edward Island.

Recording the history of the province is also important, and we do that with our chapter newsletters which not only include meeting minutes, but the histories of Charlottetown and Summerside Airports and their RAF/RCAF connections. We have also produced the history of Mount Pleasant air base and that of the RCAF at Tignish.

If you want to be a part of our meetings, projects, and written histories, please contact us!

New Brunswick ChapterOur chapter was formed in 1996 in Saint John but as we are a small province, we rotate our meetings between the cities of Fredericton, Moncton, and Saint John.

While we only hold four monthly meetings, we are a very active group in our communities. Our members volunteer to clean and spruce up aviation displays and memorial cairns; lobby for recognition of historical aviation sites; and erect plaques to inform the public of significant aviation sites.

One of our chapter’s objectives has been to display New Brunswick’s civil, commercial and military aviation history to the public free of charge. This led us to partner with the Greater Moncton International Airport to create the Don McClure Aviation Gallery in the airport terminal in 2003. We also worked with the Saint John Airport to complete a photographic display of the history of the province’s airports, past and present.

Saint John members are also active in promoting aviation history within two local schools: M. Gerald Teed and Millidgeville North. Both of these have aviation history displays and an educational outreach program in the Millidgeville North School introduces three classes of Grade 5 students to the Theory of Flight, Women in Aviation, History of Aviation in New Brunswick, and early Airmail flying in Canada. As part of their school work each spring, students prepare either an aviation art or essay project for judging by the chapter’s members. Prizes are awarded at a pizza party and a field trip is made to tour the airport facilities.

If you are interested in joining our group, becoming involved in some of these activities, or just talking aviation history, please get in touch with us by emailing turnbullchapter@gmail.com.

Montreal  ChapterThe Montreal Chapter is a crossroads where aviation veterans and aviation enthusiasts can meet.

Many of our members are involved in researching and writing history or had a front row seat to it. Others have no aviation background but want to know more about aviation, its history and its impact on Québec and Canada. Everyone is welcome – visitors and guests included!

Montreal has been one of the main centers of the Canadian aviation industry for years, and our chapter is ideally located to participate in and record this history. Every month we feature a keynote speaker and because we follow a mid-day format (1100-1300 hours), we now include a small lunch: sandwiches, veggies, cookies, coffee and bottled water.

Come and be a part of our community!
