Hi Jordan
Bearing in mind that I have not been to Edmonton in a while, Milarm might pique your interest. http://www.milarm.com/ I'm sure others will chime in. Enjoy your trip.  regards Darrell

That museum at the municipal airport in the middle of the city is pretty interesting. You can see the Bomarc missile standing out front for quite a ways.

Museums
Hey Jordan
Definitly hit Milarm for his museum, they have over 300 complete uniforms on displaym they are hanging on hangers as it is a small small place. The wife and I have been there several times and make sure we go upstairs everytime we go. If you need any parts or wood for a Lee-Enfield bring your wish list as they have a ton of old parts in the back. Google the Loyal Eddy museum for the address, it is in the old armories in town and has some excellent specimins of a Bren, Piat and a wedding set, (Husband and wife) on display. Expect to take a couple days if you go to wetaskawin as it is several hours to get there from the city and when I went all they had was Model T fords on display and nothing else, there is a small second building in the back where they have some War birds and several ribbons and medals on display. Of course if you have a bit of time swing out to the base and see the tanks they have as gate guards as well as some other vehicles. You will be able to drive around a large portion of the base with no hassles and see any iltis they may still have, we saw 20 - 30 when we were there. Gary PS: make sure you get to the museum at the muny airport, they have an awsome collection of planes and static displays, I would say that they compare to Trenton's museum.

You must have been diving one of those Model T's if it took you several hours to travel the 90 miles to Wetaskawyn. They had a lot on display the last time I was there.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm not too sure how much time I'll have. The reason for the trip was due to a contest my dad won. It's to go with the Hamilton Tiger Cats for a game against Edmonton. We are supposed to have a bit of free time but I probably won't be able to venture too far.

Museum in Wataskawin
......don't forget to go to Stan Renolds personal property, you can see it from the RAM grounds. He kept all the military items on his grounds. The last time I was there, he was getting ready to sell off his fleet of SMP vehicles.
