Black farmers have a long history in #Canada although not enough has been documented of this important history. This photo shows the main street of Guysborough, N.S. a community where black farmers settled as early as the late 1700’s. #BlackHistoryMonth #BHM2021

The museum sadly recognizes the passing of a Canadian aviation pioneer. Max Ward founded Wardair Airlines in 1953 in Yellowknife. Here, he stands beside the open cargo door of a Yellowknife Airways Bellanca Skyrocket in 1948 bit.ly/2JD4Fsf
