CAHS Merchandise

In conjuction with this year's convention, the CAHS is continuing the merchandise sale concept, and the variety of items for sale are now available for purchase online at the CAHS Store.

We are excited to offer CAHS merchandise this year that features the logo created by our graphics manager, Terry Higgins, for the 2016 convention in Manitoba. It combines the distinctive CAHS logo, the date and location of this year's convention, and the Manitoba Chapter's signature aircraft, the Junkers Ju52/1m. Items that include this commemorative logo are polo shirts (in ten different colours), t-shirts (available in three colours), a mug, tote bag, and mouse pad. T-shirts are available in men's and women's sizes with a few exceptions. Baseball caps (four colour options) are also available with the traditional CAHS logo.

2017 calendarAdditionally, the CAHS has partnered again with our amazing Canadian aviation artists to produce a stunning full colour bilingual 2017 calendar. This year, the calendar will feature thirteen months of aviation paintings! These will make beautiful Father's Day, birthday, and even Christmas gifts, so stock up now! To learn more about the gifted artists involved, click here.

Orders picked up at the CAHS Convention in Winnipeg in June will be free of shipping charges. For those unable to attend the Convention, shipments will commence after the Convention. Payments can be made by cheque, credit card, or Paypal.
