A Canadian Aviation Historical Society Chapter
The CAHS Toronto Chapter has many members from both Canada and the United States. With seven monthly meetings featuring intriguing speakers, and an informative monthly newsletter, our chapter is active in the preservation and dissemination of aviation history in Canada. You are invited to become a part of it!

Join us at our monthly meetings (location and map below) where you will enjoy 'hangar flying,' informative presentations, refreshments and the camaraderie of those who share your interest in aviation.
​
With your membership you will also get seven issues of our newsletter, Flypast (details below), which includes write-ups of presentations, information on upcoming events, and aviation news of interest to our members. These newsletters are often illustrated with photos and specially-commissioned artwork.
