War museums in Alberta

Fort Calgary, located at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow rivers in present-day Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was originally an outpost for the North West Mounted Police. Initially named Fort Brisebois after its first commander, the outpost was renamed Fort Calgary in June 1876.

The Military Museums in Calgary, Alberta, is a restructured version of the former Museum of the Regiments. This transformation was announced by Sophie, Countess of Wessex, on June 3, 2006. The museum now includes the former Museum of the Regiments, the relocated Naval Museum of Alberta, and an Air Force Wing.

The Alberta Aviation Museum is a unique aviation museum situated in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is located on the grounds of the former Edmonton City Centre (Blatchford Field) Airport, adding a layer of historical significance to the site. The museum is easily accessible and offers a deep dive into the history of aviation in the region.

The primary purpose of the museum's establishment was to safeguard and restore the Avro Lancaster FM159, one of the only 17 remaining globally. Over the years, the museum has expanded its collection to include a wide range of aircraft used during the War by the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan.

Today, Fort Whoop-Up is also the name of a replica site and interpretive centre located in Indian Battle Park. This site offers visitors a chance to learn about the history of the original fort and the activities that took place there. The replica fort was built based on new photographic evidence and is designed to resemble the original fort as closely as possible.

The regiment is part of the 41 Canadian Brigade Group within the 3rd Canadian Division and is stationed in Edmonton, Alberta. Visitors to the museum can learn about the regiment's history, its role in the military, and its contributions to Canada's defense.
