The O.M.V.A. Annual Show offers the public an opportunity to explore military vehicles from nations around the world, including armoured vehicles such as tanks and armoured personnel carriers.

 

The first show in 1986 was located at the Georgetown Fairgrounds but was moved two years later to the Taras H. Shevchenko Museum & Memorial Park. The show moved again a year later to the Milton Fairgrounds in 1989.

 

In 1995, the show again moved, this time to the Oshawa Airport, in association with the Ferret Club, where it has been ever since.

Visitors are always encouraged to bring military vehicles as well as questions and enthusiasm with them to our shows.

 

A broad selection of vendors travel from all parts of the United States and Canada to offer a selection of parts, memorabilia and accessories for military vehicles.

 

Vehicles are almost always available for sale at this show. The museum is proud to offer a collection of over 80 running vehicles and has the largest collection of armoured vehicles in Canada.

 

During the Second World War, a secret installation called "Camp-X" was located in South Oshawa. O.S.S. (Office of Strategic Services) agents from England and Canada were trained there.

 

As a point of interest Sir Ian Flemming, the author of the James Bond Series, was trained at Camp-X. Also at the South Field entrance is a display of Camp-X history, memorabilia and aviation equipment.

 

If you are a military vendor or collector and would like more information about having a table at the show, please contact us.
