New Web Address in Effect

Post Supplied by: Bill Bishop
On July 1, 2011 (Canada Day) we registered, our own domain name for our web site. Effective immediately you can access our New Web Site, 400 Squadron History Hangar, at this custom address: 400squadron.ca

Using the Contacts & Links page on the new site, you will be able to navigate to all our other presences on the web, this news blog, our photo albums, and others.

If you haven't already done so, we encourage you to take a peek preview at this site which is the permanent home for our History pages, Honour Roll, Articles, and much more. If you don't have the time to view it all at one session, we urge you to return and explore the many unique features we have included such as the complete original 'On Guard' series written by FreddyK, and the new Arts Centre highlighting music, artwork, original stories, and poems written by our Squadron members.

Some portions of the site are still being worked on. So, if some links are broken, or photos missing, bear with us for another week or so. We plan an official roll out later this month and all on our mailing list will be notified.

We also urge you to sign our log book at the new site so we can get a feel for the numbers who have visited.
