Honour and Educate - sharing the CMS story


Since our inception the Calgary Mosquito Society has been involved in a variety of educational activities that have told others about the importance of the Mosquito and Hurricane airplanes, the legalities associated with the sale and export of historic artifacts as well as the stories of the men and women associated with them and the aerial survey business.

Regular features are presented on this website and reach a global audience.

Locally the CMS has, and continues to be engaged in public speaking presentations. Popular topics include the 'F for Freddie' tragedy, Willie McKnight - Calgary's Battle of Britain ace, the history of the Calgary Mosquito, Remembrance Day and how grass roots organizations and regular people can become involved in civil politics. These presentations are done free of charge and can be booked by simply contacting the CMS. Below is a short list of the many groups and events our members have spoken with:
