You are invited to the 2023 CAHS National Convention
in historic Kingston, Ontario
The Canadian Aviation Historical Society is pleased to invite you to our annual convention in Kingston, Ontario, Wednesday 21 June to Saturday 24 June 2023. We are looking forward to what promises to be an exciting event, building on the traditional excellence of our conventions as reflected in our rewarding and successful gathering at Winnipeg in 2022.
Registration will be open soon. Registration for in person attendance is only $240 and includes the Wednesday reception, lunch for three days, and the Friday banquet, plus the tours. Registration for online attendance is $75 and includes access to all convention sessions via Zoom, but not the tours. Recordings will be made for sessions where the presenter grants permission, and these recordings will be available to all attendees after the convention, subject to technical limitations.
In the meantime, we ask that you complete this attendance survey, even if you plan not to attend the convention. Your responses will help us make the convention better.

Speakers and Tours
We are seeking speakers to make presentations to our convention. The convention is open to all: university students, aerospace industry professionals, academics, professionals in aviation or heritage associations, and aviation enthusiasts of every kind. Our focus will be on history, but we welcome proposals addressing current aviation or aerospace issues. If you're interested in speaking, please complete one of the forms on this page.
The convention opens with a Meet and Greet on Wednesday evening. Reconnect with your friends and meet aviation enthusiasts from across Canada at this informal evening. On Thursday a bus will take us to Trenton, Ontario, where we will tour Canada's largest air force base and the National Air Force Museum of Canada. The C-17 Globemaster, the CC-150 Polaris, the CC-130J Hercules, and the CH-146 Griffon are all based at Trenton. We are also planning a tour of the air force museum, featuring one of the only two restored Handley Page Halifax bombers. The museum also features an extensive air park of retired RCAF aircraft. Convention sessions start Friday morning, and continue until Saturday afternoon. Our annual banquet will take place on Friday evening. More information will be coming soon.
