Interpretation Centre

The Banting Interpretation Center was built in 1991 after the wreckage from the
1941 crash, that claimed the life of Sir Frederick Banting was airlifted from
Seven Mile Pond in 1990 and placed in the Banting Park.

The Banting Interpretation Center displays an interesting collection of
artifacts surrounding Sir Frederick Banting and the circumstances of the crash
that tragically took his life over 60 years ago.

On June 23, 2001 the monument and the replica of the Hudson Bomber was unveiled,
which now neighbors the wrecked plane that nestles close to the edge of the
pond as it crashed in 1941.
