The Canadian Bushplane Heritage Centre will be closed between Oct. 19 and Oct. 23.
It will be the first time in years that the tourist attraction will significantly change its floors.
The museum will reopen on Oct. 26 with winter hours, Monday to Sunday, 10 a. m. to 4 p. m.
Meanwhile, the centre will host a special event An Evening With Amelia, celebrating the life of Amelia Earhart and the Bushplane’s recent acquisition of Fokker Tri-Engine aircraft used in the 2009 Fox Searchlight movie Amelia, starring Hilary Swank and Richard Gere.
The evening will feature a dramatic presentation starring Kathie Brosemer celebrating the life of Amelia Earhart, the famous female pilot who disappeared in 1937 while circumnavigating the globe.
Cost is $5 for adults.
The event takes place from 7:30 to 9 p. m.
