C.F.B. Borden Museum to be done away with??

[Dana Nield]

Apparently it is true... I just received this from a friend who I met while on a Museumology course who is a curator of a CF Museum. That said, he wanted his comments posted but would like to remain anonymous for obvious reasons.

Hi,

Here's the bad news, from someone who was in Borden yesterday.

Both hangars that the tanks were in are gone. The vehicles are all sitting out in the open in an empty lot across from the museum. Next to go is the old RCAC Officer's Mess, even though it is a heritage building.

Looks like the Base Comd is keen to get things done quickly before any opposition can be mobilized. Reminds me of the Taliban and the stone Buddas some years ago.

Hard to believe this sort of thing is happening in 2004.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time to mobilize.....
