Collections
The museum organization collects, preserves and displays artifacts and history of the Canadian Forces and, in particular, the Oshawa-based Ontario Regiment (RCAC) and its perpetuating units. The organization boasts the largest collection of operational historic armoured vehicles in Canada.
Several vehicles built during World War II in Oshawa's General Motors plants are on display, along with artefacts related to the local industrial war effort during 1939-45. In keeping the theme of remembrance, the museum maintains a very good collection of uniforms, non-operational weapons, medals and artefacts used by the Canadian Army and Canadian Forces dating back to the early 1850s.

Famous quotes containing the word collections:
“Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters: they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.”
—Sébastien-Roch Nicolas De Chamfort (1741–1794)
