Haldimand County

A lapel pin with a heron standing in reeds along a body of water against a yellow sky. A red banner above as the text A Grand Experience. At the bottom, is the word Haldimand in large text and the word County in smaller text beside a red maple leaf.

The Dunnville airport in Haldimand County hosted a British Commonwealth flight training school during WWII for pilots from Canada, Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. At the No. 6 RCAF Dunnville Museum, you can see vintage aircraft and get a sense of what the training would have been like.
