The Story of the 1000 Islands

Episode 7: Link Trainer

In partnership with: 1000 Islands History Museum, Government of Canada, Town of Gananoque

In a twist of history, in the 1930's Gananoque becomes the birthplace of a wartime aviation breakthrough. Inventor Edwin Link builds his now-famous Link Trainer right in town — helping to train allied pilots during World War II. Paddy the Beaver takes flight in this inspiring episode, uncovering how creativity and cooperation helped turn a riverside factory in the 1000 Islands into a symbol of global impact.

This MOM (Multimedia Outreach Module) video is the seventh in a series created in partnership with the Town of Gananoque, Government of Canada, 1000 Islands History Museum and Kidoons, in association with The 20K Collective.
