Oshawa Military and Industrial Museum
The Oshawa Military and Industrial Museum ((Map) ) is an accredited (Canadian Forces Museum ) located in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. The museum, more commonly known as The Ontario Regiment (RCAC) 'Ferret Club', traces its roots in Oshawa to 1980, having grown to become the (Historic Vehicle Section ) of the Ontario Regiment (RCAC) Museum.
The museum's maintainers are a uniquely skilled and dedicated group of volunteer civilian military vehicle enthusiasts and include several current and former members of The Ontario Regiment (RCAC), other units of the Canadian Forces, the Canadian Army, Royal Canadian Armoured Corps, Royal Canadian Electrical and Mechanical Engineers, Royal Canadian Army Service Corps and the Royal Canadian Army Cadets.
==Description==
Operated as a ''living'' museum, this organization is quite different from most traditional collections and displays of Canadian militaria. Almost every vehicle in the museum’s collection is operational, or in some state of repair or restoration. Many vehicles including the vintage Sherman Mark IV, Chaffee, M60 and Sheridan tanks, armoured personnel carriers, trucks and jeeps are frequently driven in parades and other ceremonial activities involving The Ontarios or other units of the Canadian Forces. Since most of these vehicles are ‘runners’, the museum's staff and maintainers are slightly less reluctant to let people climb onto and into their prized pieces than most museum curators. From time to time, a patron may even experience a ride first-hand.
The funding required to restore, maintain, and fuel the museum’s historic vehicle collection and static displays is provided entirely by volunteers—current and former members of the Canadian Forces, veterans, cadets and civilians alike. The museum raises some its operating funds by providing the use of some vehicles for select recognizable Canadian and international television or film productions. The task of restoring and maintaining such a large collection of antique vehicles is extremely resource-intensive, often physically strenuous and very expensive. Many of the Museum's collection of unrestored or under-repair vehicles are visible from Stevenson Rd N, the road leading into to the south field of the Oshawa Municipal Airport lands.
