No, wrong again, he actually attended White Oaks secondary School in Oakville, ON with me.
The highschool listed as the one Chris Hadfield attended is incorrect. He attended Milton District Highschool in Milton, Ontario not in Oakville. His NASA biography verifies this. (-- Mphilp 19:55, 14 June 2006 (UTC))
He definitely went to WOSS, he comes every few years and gives a speech..... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.183.88.202 ( talk) 17:37, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
There is no source that says that he did. Both his CSA and NASA bio's say Milton. If you have a reliable source that says other wise then please show us. Just because he goes to a school and speaks doesn't mean he attended that school. A lot of astro's go speak at schools, its a program that most if not all space agencies have.-- Navy Blue84 01:08, 1 February 2010 (UTC)
I, too remember Chris Hadfield from White Oaks Secondary School in Oakville, ON. Maybe he didn't attend the full five years of high school at WOSS, but he was definitely there. Maybe he finished in Milton, I'm not sure.----
He did both. He went to Milton District Secondary School and then switched to White Oaks to take some extra classes in order to get into RMC. He met his wife while attending White Oaks.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.191.242.188 ( talk) 07:28, 17 December 2011, (UTC)

Hadfield's book An Astronaut's Guide to Life on Earth: What Going to Space Taught Me About Ingenuity, Determination, and Being Prepared for Anything appears frequently in the citations, but is never mentioned in the body of the entry. Brauden ( talk) 05:09, 14 December 2013 (UTC)
He has a new book as well, called You Are Here. It's a photobook with commentary which includes his favourite photos from space. I feel like that should probably be included in his post-retirement section as well? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.120.91.12 ( talk) 02:41, 22 October 2014 (UTC)
In Milton, Ontario where his parents still live, there is a street called Chris Hadfield Way and a park called Chris Hadfield Park that are named after him.

I was thinking that "other occupation: Musician" isn't really appropriate for the info box. His "musical career" is entirely related to playing music in space, thus being part of his astronaut career. To my knowledge, he hasn't toured as specifically a musician or officially released any music not related to his time his space, with the exception of a few youtube collaberations. While his music is definitely worth being in the article, I question if it is truly a second occupation. Thoughts? †Basilosauridae ❯❯❯Talk 14:31, 10 January 2019 (UTC)

Since Hadfield held the rank of 'Colonel' in the Royal Canadian Air Force, his infobox should include the title of 'Colonel' as an honorific prefix above his name - as is standard for individuals with military service who do not have a military infobox (e.g. Erin O'Toole). 70.31.125.32 ( talk) 19:26, 29 April 2020 (UTC)

Chris Hadfield commented on twitter that he spent time in Maracaibo, Venezuela as a toddler while his father was working as an aerial survey pilot flying a B-17 for Kenting Aviation. I think this would be interesting to add to the beginning of the "Early Life" section. [1]
Proposed language:
Hadfield was raised on a corn farm in southern Ontario, however he also spent time in Maracaibo, Venezuela as a toddler while his father was working as an aerial survey pilot flying a B-17 for Kenting Aviation

I cannot find any NASA page supporting the idea that NASA renamed its Michoud Assembly Facility to Chris A. Hadfield Rocket Factory. The sources cited are the Canadian Encyclopedia, which does not have any references for that fact; and a Flickr page, which says it only in the caption. There is a Facebook page for the so-called Hadfield Rocket Factory, but it is not run by NASA. Google Maps' Street View of the same location (see https://goo.gl/maps/8skGoumMMpZjKbc28) shows it is still named Michoud. The Michoud Assembly Facility wiki page also claims it was renamed, but cites the same two non-NASA references.
Searching the internet, I was unable to find any NASA page that mentions a 'Hadfield Rocket Factory'. There are some pages that show entrance signs for NASA Marshall Spaceflight Center renamed for Chris Hadfield. And in common-sense terms, the United States' NASA would not be naming anything after a Canadian, no matter how nice the guy is.
Therefore, the Chris Hadfield Rocket Factory appears to be a prank. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.127.176.33 ( talk) 21:00, 23 October 2021 (UTC)

Change "In 2005, 820 Milton Blue Thunder Squadron was renamed 820 Chris Hadfield Squadron in honour of Hadfield, who was a cadet there from 1971 to 1978." to "In 2005, 820 Milton Blue Thunder Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron was renamed 820 Chris Hadfield Royal Canadian Air Cadet Squadron in honour of Hadfield, who was a cadet there from 1971 to 1978."
This helps increase clarity due to the fact that Squadron could be interpreted as Air Force squadron instead of Royal Canadian Air Cadet squadron. Urlocalsandwich ( talk) 23:15, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
