Saskatoon Museum Of Military Artifacts

THE ANSWER IS IN! Did you guess correctly?

The genuine original is the badge that looks almost completely smooth and polished!

At first glance, it certainly doesn’t look like the obvious choice — years of polishing have worn away much of its detail. But there’s a great clue on the reverse: it’s a genuine Royal Canadian Army Medical Corps cap badge.

So, if you picked the battered-looking, almost smooth badge… well spotted! And if you didn’t — don’t worry. That was the whole point of the challenge 😉

Can you spot the fakes?

We’ve got four cap badges pictured here — but only one is a genuine original. The other three are reproductions!

Think you can tell which one is authentic? Take a close look and leave your guess in the comments.

We’ll reveal the answer next week!

It’s not always about the artifacts…

Today, we’re celebrating a couple of additions to the museum that might not be quite as exciting as a piece of military history — but they’re making a difference behind the scenes!

Thanks to a grant from the City of Saskatoon’s Environmental Grant Program, we’ve been able to purchase new recycling bins and a water cooler for the museum.

These practical improvements will help us:
🌱 Reduce the amount of waste we send to landfill
♻️ Make recycling easier for our visitors and volunteers
💧 Reduce our reliance on disposable water bottles
🌎 Encourage more environmentally responsible practices
💚 Reduce our environmental footprint

We’re very grateful to the City of Saskatoon for supporting these improvements and helping us make our museum a little more environmentally friendly.

Because looking after our history also means looking after the future!

BIG THINGS ARE HAPPENING…..
Thanks to generous funding support, we'll be refurbishing our RCAF gallery as part of our new Sky Stories project — celebrating the remarkable stories of the airmen and women who served in Canada's Air Force, including the fascinating history of the Canadian Cree Code Talkers.

We are so grateful to Veterans Affairs Canada, Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, the Dakota Dunes Development Corporation at Dakota Dunes Casino, and the Museums Association of Saskatchewan for their generous support and belief in this project. We'd also like to thank the RCAF Foundation / Fondation de l'ARC for their collaboration as we move forward.

Refurbishment work will begin this September, with the newly transformed gallery set to open in April 2027 — just in time for the RCAF's centennial. Stay tuned for more updates as this story takes flight!

An exciting delivery today—and another step closer to bringing Sky Stories to life!

We were thrilled to receive a copy of Pathway to the Stars from the RCAF Foundation / Fondation de l'ARC, and we can't wait to dive in.

This wonderful publication will be an invaluable resource as we develop our proposed Sky Stories exhibit, helping us tell the inspiring stories of the Royal Canadian Air Force and the people whose service shaped Canada's history.

We're incredibly grateful to the RCAF Foundation for their support and collaboration, and we're excited to continue working together as this ambitious project moves from vision to reality.

💙 You can help make it happen!
Creating a new permanent exhibit takes time, research, and community support. If you'd like to help bring this new exhibit to life, you can support the project by making a donation through CanadaHelps. Every contribution, large or small, will help us bring the remarkable stories of the Royal Canadian Air Force to life for future generations.
