Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Museum
Preservation and protection of Canada's rich and varied motorcycling heritage. Good description and Category Reference Museums Transportation Motorcycles either through their manufacture and distribution as canadian models, or asmachines with a particular canadian social cultural or military history.
http://www.cvmg.on.ca/museum.htm

Extractions: As a project to help preserve Canada's motorcycling history for future generations of Canadian riders, the CVMG has worked to establish a vintage motorcycle museum. This opened in 1994 in Brantford, Ontario and currently displays about 33 motorcycles and various motorcycling artifacts and memorabilia. The Museum was established to recognize, protect and preserve Canada's rich and varied motorcycling heritage. It also aims to convey the importance of this heritage to non-motorcyclists and future generations. The CVMM is a federally registered charitable foundation operated by a volunteer board. The Director of the Museum, Eric McNair, can be reached at 92 Sydenham St., Dundas, Ontario, L9H 2V3, Canada, by phone at 905-627-4185 or by email at museum@cvmg.ca Funds to sustain the museum's operations are generated by individual donations, for which charitable receipts are available, and by the periodic charitable raffling of a motorcycle. Currently the displayed collection is housed within the Canadian Military Heritage Museum at 347 Greenwich St., building #19, Brantford, Ontario. To reach the Museum, take Highway # 403 east from London or west from Hamilton to the Wayne Gretsky Parkway exit at Brantford. Take the parkway south to Colborne St. (Hwy. # 2), turning left (east) on Colborne to Locks St. Turn right (south) on Locks St., over the canal and then turn right on Greenwich St. Follow Greenwich St. west along the canal for 1.4 km and the Museum is on your left. Admission to both the Motorcycle and Military Museums is $3.00.

Extractions: 1. The Boer War in 1899 impressed upon the Canadian Government the need for a permanent army. The General Officer Commanding the Canadian Militia recommended the organization of a permanent corps of engineers and as a result the "Canadian Engineer Corps" was formed on 1 July 1903. In 1904 it was renamed the "Royal Canadian Engineers" and it had an establishment of 7 officers and 125 other ranks in 1906 when the last British troops departed Canada. 2. The "Great War" saw Engineers quickly dispatched to Europe with the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Included with the Engineers were the railway companies and the forestry corps. In all more than 40,000 Sappers were involved in the fighting. After WW I demobilization resulted in an establishment of just over 200 members. 3. Declaration of war in 1939 resulted in RCE units being reorganized and re-equipped. In December 1939, the First Canadian Divisional Engineers were formed and dispatched to England. RCE units were involved in the majority of European operations, from Dieppe, North Africa, through Italy, France, Holland and Germany. By the end of the war the overseas RCE strength was 685 officers and 15,677 other ranks. 4. Sappers were again called to arms during the Korean conflict. Military Engineer involvement included road, airfield and camp construction, demolition work and bridging in particular.
BOOK REVIEW: A HISTORY OF WOMEN IN THE CANADIAN MILITARY
Congratulations to the Directorate of history and Heritage for producing thisrichly illustrated popular history of women in the canadian military.
http://www.journal.dnd.ca/legacy/vol2/no1_e/book_e/book7_e.html

Extractions: Congratulations to the Directorate of History and Heritage for producing this richly illustrated popular history of women in the Canadian military. This long overdue book chronicles the services of Canadas nursing sisters in the Northwest Rebellion in 1885, the Yukon Field Force of 1898 and the South African and First World Wars. It continues by telling of the nearly 50,000 women who served overseas and at home during the Second World War and in the Korean conflict. And it covers the key events of the post-war era the uncertain times after demobilization, the Cold War, unification of the three services, and the ever-widening role of women in the military. Discussions of human rights legislation, significant policy changes, difficulties integrating women and the reality of widespread harassment bring the story into the present. A major strength of the book lies in its extensive illustrations. A selection of paintings by Molly Lamb Bobak, the only woman to be an official war artist during the Second War, are superbly reproduced in full colour. Ranging from depictions of basic trainees on the parade square and parachute riggers at work, to life in the barracks and women repairing aircraft, these paintings present a unique look at the daily lives of servicewomen during the war. The book is also well illustrated with a broad range of photos. Early shots include, for example, nurses in action in South Africa circa 1900 and rifle-toting members of the St. John Fusiliers Amazon Battalion! The photo coverage of womens service during World War II is comprehensive and well balanced, but the pictorial representation of recent times showing women as full and equal members of the Forces engaged in real operations is less than adequate. Where are the photos of servicewomen hard at work during the Oka situation, the Winnipeg flood, the famous ice storm or the huge airlift into the former Yugoslavia? What about the Peacekeeping Monument in downtown Ottawa which includes the figure of a servicewoman? One would expect that a popular history would include events with which the Canadian public is familiar. And, unfortunately, the photo coverage seems to stop in the early 1990s which is hardly an accurate reflection of present reality.
