Beaver Stories

The mighty Beaver’s 75th anniversary takes place in August 2022. The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre is the proud owner of the 1st production-line Beaver, and the 2nd to ever be built – CF-OBS. This “flying pick-up truck” has played a role in so many important developments in Canadian history – forest fire fighting and scouting, access to northern areas, and much more.

We know you have stories! Good and bad, funny and sad, we want to hear them.

We’re planning an exhibit to honour the Beaver, along with some festivities. We want to focus on how the Beaver impacted you and your lives. Please share your stories, so we can put together an exhibit that commemorates the the impact of the burly Beaver. Please try and submit your stories and artefacts by Friday May 6, 2022.
