The executive director of the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum will retire at the end of the month, capping off a career of 27 years.
Stephen Hayter announced his retirement on Thursday.
“It has been an incredible privilege to serve the Commonwealth Air Training Plan Museum and to work alongside so many dedicated volunteers, staff, supporters, and community members,” he said in a press release. “I know the Museum’s future is bright, and I look forward to watching it continue to grow.”
Hayter jointed the museum in 1999 as its first full-time executive director, and has helped establish it as a nationally recognized museum. The museum expanded its educational programming, strengthened community partnerships, grew its collections and advanced major fundraising and capital initiatives under his leadership, the museum said.
Ken Dzogan, president of the museum’s board of directors, said his contribution has been extraordinary.
“His passion, dedication and steady leadership have ensured one of Canada’s most important wartime stories continues to be shared with future generations,” Dzogan said. “I want to thank Stephen for his remarkable service and wish him every happiness in his retirement.”
As the museum enters its next chapter, it remains committed to carrying forward the legacy Hayter helped strengthen — sharing the remarkable story of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan from the last remaining operational hangar in Canada and ensuring those who served are remembered for generations to come, the museum said.
