light Centre with hands-on activities the whole family will enjoy. See a viewing of Wildfires!, our award-wining film about forest fire fighting in the North! Find unique gifts and STEM-themed toys in our gift shop. Get inspired with a guided tour about the development of bushplanes and forest fire management – available daily 10am and 2pm. Get “buggy” with Entomica Insectarium when you select the Adventure Pass admission option. Our Event Centre is perfect for weddings, birthdays, and corporate and social functions. The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre makes an excellent day trip for school field trips and recreational bus tours. The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre (CBHC) is a non-profit organization founded in 1987 by a small group of volunteers with the object of preserving and telling the story of Canada’s bushplane and forest fire protection heritage.

Last Thursday was amazing. Thank you Sault Ste. Marie for showing up big and loud Sold out meet & greet before the show, fans from all over crossing the boarder from the US or driving 8+ hours to make it out from Toronto, North Bay, Sudbury and more. It was a great pleasure meeting all of you and seeing so many out in a dream concert setting for me. A massive hangar with the doors open surrounded by planes, people and loud music. Thank you!!
