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

[Robert Dabkowski]

Visited base Borden today and confirmed that the two northwestern tank hangers have been removed along with at least 8 other buildings around the base, NOT the two recently renovated RCAC tank hangers. DND has mandated cost cutting (They have to pay for the recently announced tax free overseas pay for our troops).
About a dozen 40' sea containers have been rented short term to house items from the removed buildings and to hold the contents of tank hanger #3 which is to be power washed and spraypainted inside.
Also one of the original "flightline hangers" near the runways has been refurbished and given to the Museum so that several ex-RCAF aircraft currently on display outside, can be moved out of the weather (smaller than the two demolished builldings though)
The museum hopes to retain most of its current artifacts although some display cases/racks and tank motors will go to the Oshawa Museum for its operational fleet of vehicles.
Not the original plan for the Base Borden Museum but it will continue and be improved. I suspect that this plan is the best that could be hoped for until the current government is removed from power.
