Aviation museum in Edmonton close to buying its historic home
The Alberta Aviation Museum is working with the City of Edmonton to buy Hangar 14, a historic WWII airplane hangar.
An Edmonton museum is close to owning its longtime home, which is a part of Canadian war history.
Hangar 14, located on Kingsway near 117 Street and 114 Avenue on the grounds of the former Edmonton Municipal Airport, has been home to the Alberta Aviation Museum for more than three decades.
The 84,400-square-foot warehouse has been for sale since October 2023, after the City of Edmonton decided not to spend $41 million renovating it.
The city received offers from three other potential buyers but decided to negotiate with the museum.
Hangar 14 is the only one of its kind remaining in Canada from the Second World War and is a protected provincial and municipal historic resource, meaning both the city and the province would have to approve any additions or alterations to it.
'It's not a simple buy and sell like you would for an average everyday house,' Jean Lauzon, the executive director of the museum, told CTV News Edmonton on Tuesday. 'There's a number of conditions that need to be met, and we're in the process of figuring out those timelines and those dates.
'We'll be able to sign off on the agreement soon.'
Lauzon said the museum hopes to complete the transaction by the end of August.

As Global Migration Patterns Respond to Political Uncertainties The Spanish Group Shares Key Transformational Trends in Language
Accurate and Certified Multilingual Services Increasingly Critical in Countries Seeing Higher Migration Rates from the United States IRVINE, CA - The Spanish Group, an internationally recognized and ISO-Certified translation service, is sharing key transformational trends in language as global migration patterns shift and more U.S. citizens leave the country. More Americans Leaving the Country A recent Talker Research survey found that 17% of Americans would like to move outside the U.S. in the next five years, and 2% already have plans in place. Expatsi, a company that provides relocation tours and expat resources, says that two-thirds of users who complete an online assessment want to leave the U.S. by 2026, with 12% saying they hope to move in the next six months. 'We're seeing sharp increases in legal, healthcare, and educational translations in particular due to global migration patterns,' said The Spanish Group CEO Salvador Ordorica. 'Countries like Canada, Germany, and Australia are leading this trend, focusing on multilingual services to support immigrant integration, patient care, and legal access.' Dominant languages continue to be English, Mandarin Chinese, Spanish, Arabic, and Portuguese due to major trading groups, with increasing demand for Hindi, Bahasa Indonesian, and Vietnamese as Southeast Asian markets expand. Multilingualism Becoming a Business Imperative 'As companies enter new regions, they're realizing that English-only strategies limit market penetration. This will amplify demand for specialized translation, localization, and transcreation services that go beyond word-for-word translations to ensure brand alignment, compliance, and customer connection,' said Ordorica. 'Multilingualism is increasingly seen not just as a courtesy but as a business imperative, particularly in Asia and Africa.' Importantly, Ordorica noted, African languages like Swahili and Amharic are also on the rise, reflecting the continent's growing role in global commerce. 'We're observing growth in requests for indigenous languages, such as Nahuatl from Mexico and Yoruba in West Africa,' he said. 'While they're not widely used in global trade, localizing in these languages creates powerful connections with domestic audiences, opens new consumer bases, and strengthens corporate social responsibility narratives.' About The Spanish Group Founded in 2013 by Salvador Ordorica, CEO, The Spanish Group is an internationally recognized ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 17100:2015 certified translation service offering 123 languages and unparalleled language precision, localization, cost effectiveness, and efficiency.
