I was aboard The Haida several times when I lived downtown many moons ago. Fond memories. I also remember the Lancaster bomber, tank and guns at the lakefront. A childhood friend of mine's father was a Lancaster pilot, boy did he have some good stories, he couldn't tell a single one without tearing up.

If you are ever down this way, not too far from the harbor is the Canadian Warplane Heritage. One of the planes they have is a Lancaster, and they still fly it regularly.
