Join us on August 10 as we celebrate the grand opening of Dr. D.S. Reimer Aviation Plaza!
From August 9 – 11, we’re welcoming a visiting P-51D Mustang to our museum. Visiting aircraft like this are possible because of our beautiful outdoor plaza. The Mustang’s visit is part of a special day at the museum where we celebrate Dr. Donald Sanford Reimer, a longstanding and generous donor of the Royal Aviation Museum and benefactor of Dr. D.S. Reimer Aviation Plaza.
Dr. Donald Reimer exemplified a life of excellence in business and philanthropy. At age 19, he founded Reimer Express Lines, and led the company for over 40 years. He was executive chairman and chief executive officer of Reimer World Corp., the parent company that included Reimer Express Lines.
In 1989 Reimer Express Lines received a Canada Award for Business Excellence in Quality. Dr. Reimer received the Manitoba Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Business Achievement Award in 1987 and the National Transportation Person-of-the-Year Award in 1994. He established the Reimer Express Foundation in 1985, using it mainly to support charitable giving
