  1. Ceremony marking the departure of Airwomen from Lac St. Denis. (L-R) FS LA Desjardins, SWO; F/L ME Vaughn, PAdO; W/C LP Dupuis, CO; and Cpl. Anne Harrison who presented the plaque to the station on behalf of the Airwomen - 15 September 1962.
    Airwomen were being phased out of Lac St. Denis in September 1962. At the beginning of the month, there were were 126 Airwomen on strength and by the 15th of September all of them had departed. Prior to leaving, they had a parade, and following the parade, they presented the Station with a bronze plaque to be mounted at the entrance of the Station. They also donated an "Airman of the Year Trophy" to the Station. When Lac St. Denis was closed out (in 1986), LCol Doris Toole (who was Acting Director of Women Personnel at NDHQ in the mid 1980's) made arrangements for the plaque to go to the RCAF Museum in Trenton, and it is still there to this date.
