context_page_description: The Ontario Regiment Museum, an accredited Canadian Forces Museum, is one component of the Oshawa Military and Industrial Museum located in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada. This 'living museum' traces its roots back to 1980, having grown out of The Ontario Regiment Museum's Historic Vehicle Section, more commonly known as The Ontario Regiment Ferret Club. The museum is located on the South Field of the Oshawa Municipal Airport, 1000 Stevenson Rd N, Oshawa, Ontario. The museum can only be accessed by the south as the airport blocks the north.
context_section_description: 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.  The collection includes approximately 80 operational vehicles.
  List of operational vehicles as of 2017:  leopard 1A5, leopard C2, M60, m551, m113, BMP1, T-54, M8, M3, M24, m548, universal carrier, grizzly, cougar, husky, lynx, ferret scout car, and many more wheeled vehicles.
  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.
  The museums also holds "Tank Saturdays" on the second Saturday of every summer month, usually starting in the month of May.  This is when the operation vehicles are displayed to the public.  Also there is Aquino Day in which the anniversary of the World War 2 battle in Italy occurred.  This event usually includes battle re-enactments.
