RCAF TECHNICAL TRAINING SCHOOL

The only facility of its kind in Ontario during the Second World War, No. 1 Technical Training School, St. Thomas was established by the Royal Canadian Air Force in 1939 to produce skilled ground crews for active wartime service. It was housed here in the Ontario Hospital complex and was operated in compliance with Canada's commitment to establish air training facilities in sites removed from the theatre of war. Equipped to handle more than 2,000 students at a time, the school offered six-month courses for aircraft electricians and aero engine, airframe and instrument mechanics in addition to specialized training for fabric and sheet metal workers. When the war ended in 1945 the school was closed and the complex was returned to the Ontario Department of Health.

L'ECOLE DE FORMATION DE L'AVIATION ROYALE DU CANADA

Seul établissment du genre en Ontario durant la Seconde guerre mondiale, l'Ecole de formation technique no 1, à St Thomas, est crée en 1939 par l'Aviation royale du Canada afin de former du personnel de piste compétent pour la guerre. L'école occupe cet actuel complexe hospitalier
elle remplit l'engagement du Canada de créer des centres d'entraînement aérien loin des hostilités. Apte à recevoir plus de 2000 élèves à la fois, l'école offre des cours d'un semestre aux électiciens d'avions ainsi qu'aux mécaniciens de moteurs, de cellules et d'instruments, et aussi une formation spécialisée aux entoileurs et aux tôliers. La fin de la guerre, en 1945, marque la fermeture de l'école
le ministère de la Santé de l'Ontario reprend alors les bâtiments.
