Norm Danton describes himself as a “proud volunteer”. Originally from the UK, he brings that part of his history with him when he volunteers Thursday mornings; his fellow volunteers, along with our Museum visitors, always learn something new.
At Norm’s request, this year’s focus on Veteran’s Week is a look at a number of meaningful posts selected by Norm himself – each one is meant to focus our attention on a specific aspect of our history. In addition, Norm shares a very personal “What Remembrance Day Means To Me”. Norm’s series is called “Remembrance Week”.
I invite you to take the time over the coming week to read and to ponder… to remember and to appreciate…
Lest We Forget…

Founded in 1982 as part of the Air Force Indoctrination School, CAFM was accredited as a stand-alone Canadian Forces Museum and officially opened its doors to the public on 12 September 1987.
