The Elgin Military Museum highlights the courage of Arnold Logan from Muncey; first indigenous man KIA in WWI. And, Jonathan LaValley from Oneida First Nation one of six chosen from thousands of Canadian Heritage Fair competitors to go to Ottawa. #NationalIndigenousPeoplesDay

With grit and determination, faith and hope over six years the end was now in site. #VEDay #CanadaRemembers #LestWeForget

The Elgin Military Museum in St. Thomas, Ontario & ‘sub-station’ HMCS Ojibwa Remember the Liberation of Holland. We salute the determination of the liberators, many of whom were members of our museum, & the fortitude of the Dutch people. #LiberationDay #CanadaRemembers #tulips

Looking forward to a time when it is safe for HMCS Ojibwa to open again. No doubt there will be a lot more bunnies this year because we haven’t been there to disturb them. Please keep safe #HappyEaster2020 #tillwemeetagain

Happy #StPatricksDay! everyone. While the Elgin Military Museum and HMCS Ojibwa are closed to help keep people safe, we hope you enjoy our websites. #Museums #Submarines

The #submarine compound gets its grass cut for the first time in 2020! Teddy & Cindy are having a ball with the fresh grass. Later on in the season visitors to Port Burwell can go for a buggy ride with them #Sunday #horselovers

HMCS Ojibwa welcomes some of the scouts from the 52nd Toronto. They are on the #submarine right now with the amazing Wally Buchanan. @scoutscanada #saturday

HMCS Ojibwa is open for tours Jan. 25th & 26th. Dress for the cold prepare for the awesome. Cold war stories of submariner life will take you back to the days when the #DoomsdayClock was new. #weekend #education

There won't be a flake of snow in site but even at 10 Celsius our Cold War submarine HMCS Ojibwa will be more comfortable this weekend if you wear mitts and a coat. Totally awesome goes with any weather. Open noon till four.

@HMCS_NCSM_YORK For a little variety check out the wild side of the navy at HMCS Ojibwa - a cold war submarine (1965-1998) We're open the 28th & 29th noon till four in Port Burwell

👀 ❤️ 🧠

What a difference a year makes! Port Burwell, ON will not look like this when you visit this weekend (noon till four) temperatures are well above zero. Bring warm mitt and socks for the submarine as it can be chilly. #ThrowbackThursday #museums #weekend

Some say it’s what’s inside that counts. See for yourself. HMCS Ojibwa is open this weekend noon till 4. It is an unforgettable experience. Bundle up – it’s a steel tube in the winter. Port Burwell is on Lake Erie – Ontario’s south coast. #submarine #SaturdayMorning #thingstodo

#OTD HMCS OJIBWA Commissioned into the Royal Canadian Navy September 23, 1965. Decommissioned 1998. Now a #Museum in Port Burwell, Ontario @hnsaorg @RoyalCanNavy

HMCS Ojibwa welcomed a group from the US Lighthouse Society on Wednesday. Had a lot of fun opening the torpedo tube door and generally laughing our way through the submarine. NB: No appendix was experimented upon this time & no rum passed our lips! @USLHS #Museums @OntSouthwest

Submarine Commander Ron Perks has moved on to a little different mode of transportation today to bring a bus load of the Probus Club from Pickering, ON to tour his old stomping (quietly) ground HMCS Ojibwa. The image was taken in 1972 @RoyalCanNavy, #roadTrip, #museum

There's no shortage of places to relax in the sun or shade when visiting HMCS Ojibwa - the only submarine in Ontario. And should it rain - the submarine is a good place to be! #SundayFunday #roadTrip #canadianhistory

We've moved the mock Mark 48 torpedo into the loading position. Come down to Port Burwell and check it out. We have two former submariners aboard today - one a sonarman and the other communications/radio lady. #CDNmilitaryhistory #roadTrip #museums
