A.V.Roe and the Tragedy of the Avro Arrow

We are thrilled be presenting author, Greig Stewart at our upcoming heritage presentation on Wednesday, April 22. The event will be held from 7 - 8:30 pm, at the Beaches Sandbox, 2181 Queen Street East, (Just east of Lee Avenue).

Greig wrote the definitive book on the rise of the Canadian aircraft industry and specifically the legendary Avro Arrow military plane.Since the cancellation of the Avro Arrow program in 1959 by the government of John Diefenbaker, the controversial story of the Avro Arrow has continued to capture the imaginations of Canadians.Greig will talk about the history, personalities, politics, myths and much more around this uniquely Canadian and very timely story.
