Flin Flon Military Museum - Our Heritage

The collection of memorabilia and artifacts dates back to the first formation of a military organization in Flin Flon, namely the MVR, or Manitoba Volunteer Reserve. This “home guard” unit was succeeded by the Fort Gary Horse (10 Armoured Regiment) in 1942, then the change to the 52nd Heavy Anti-Aircraft Regiment - Royal Canadian Artillery in 1946. The change to the 21st Field Squadron, Royal Canadian Engineers was the last for Flin Flon, in 1949, as the “sappers” held strong until the Squadron was reduced to nil strength and disbanded in 1995. All of the Flin Flon units utilized the old community hall complex for parades and training, as well as a nearby rifle range. The 21st Field Engineer Squadron moved in to the newly constructed Flin Flon armoury in November of 1956. Over the years of operation at the armoury numerous artifacts and photos adorned training areas, messes and offices in keeping with the traditions of a proud and vibrant reserve army unit.
