The CASM TEam

Milan Kroupa

Treasurer

In 1977 Milan Kroupa Sr. established United Cleaning Services Limited in Toronto, Ontario. His vision was to create a service company that would always deliver on its promises and become a leader in quality and innovation in the facility maintenance industry. Forty-three years later United Cleaning Services is a leader in the industry, servicing clients across Canada with over 100 million square feet serviced daily in a wide variety of markets such as retail, commercial, multi-tenant, industrial/logistics, entertainment, financial and government.

While pursuing a personal lifetime of interest in aviation Milan happened to discover Edenvale during a weekend flight in his plane in the spring of 2003. The grandness and beauty of the location struck his interest and after learning about its military pedigree he passionately took it upon himself to purchase the facility and begin a restoration of the airfield and accompanying hangar buildings.

In 2017 Milan found out about the Avro Arrow Replica’s despair and he offered a home to save the Arrow and the artifacts.

It is my pleasure to bring families, co-workers, military personnel and their kids together to share stories of their past and their connection to the Avro Arrow Project.”
