 CAHS News & Views: Camp Borden's Hangars
As this recognition elevates Borden's hangars to the same level as historic Louisburg and the Citadelle de Québec, the story may have left the Air Force community with the impression that the hangars had gained some kind of financial or legal protection in the process.
As a training base, Borden's primary responsibility is the training of personnel in support of Canadian Forces operations at home and abroad, and no one would dare suggest the reallocation of already stretched training resources or funds to the preservation of historic buildings, no matter how important they are.
Yet as the custodian of Air Force heritage in Borden, it is certainly the ethical responsibility of the members of 16 Wing to raise awareness about the situation, particularly among the Air Force community.
