The Air Force Museum of Alberta is a founding member of The Military Museums of Calgary, Alberta. The museum includes the history of the RCAF from the First World War to the present day, and is home to four iconic RCAF aircraft that served during the Cold War.

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of Jim Powell on 11th June 2025, at the age of 85. Jim had a long and distinguished career that left a lasting mark on the city's recreational and cultural landscape. His accolades are many – both locally and nationally. In retirement, Jim continued to pour his time back into the community, and we as the Air Force Museum Society of Alberta, feel blessed that much of his time was spent as one of the founding members of our organization in the capacity of Treasurer. His formidable financial and accounting acumen was pivotable not only in our museum’s establishment, but the success it continues to enjoy today.

Jim shall always be remembered for his kindness, his keen wit, his comradery and his unrelenting dedication. We shall miss you for all that you brought to the lives of those you touched. To Penny and all of Jim's family, we express our sincerest condolences and may his memories bring strength to you at this difficult time.

May Jim Powell Rest In Peace.
