Final Glide - David A Collard

SAC has learned of the passing of long-time coordinator of the SAC Youth Bursary program, a role that has certainly helped establish a love of soaring for many pilots in Canada.

Thank you.

SAC 2023 AGM – In person and Virtual - March 25

After three years we finally have the opportunity to meet in person. We have decided to hold our SAC Annual General Meeting (AGM) in an appropriate venue: the Canada Aviation and Space Museum. The actual AGM will take place from 10:30 AM to 12 PM. In the afternoon there will be a few lectures and we are trying to arrange a special tour of the reserve hangar. You will be given free admission to the Museum. The museum opens at 9:00 AM. SAC AGM participants are also entitled to free parking. We will send you your parking permit by email. The only thing you will need to pay is for the lunch ($25).  The Alt Hotel in downtown Ottawa will offer a preferential rate of $194. Note that you can change the reservation dates to suit your needs.

So, please indicate your intentions by filling out the SAC AGM Attendance Form. We need to determine the required number of lunches and parking passes. 

This is the link to the virtual SAC AGM: https://sac-agm.in.howspace.com/

When you arrive at the parking lot, please do not buy parking at the machine. Instead come to the museum and George will give you a parking pass and your entrance pass to the museum.

Après trois ans, nous avons enfin la possibilité de nous rencontrer en personne. Nous avons décidé de tenir notre assemblée générale annuelle (AGA) de l’ACVV dans un lieu approprié : le musée de l’Aviation et de l'espace du Canada. L'AGA proprement dite aura lieu de 10h30 à 12h. L'après-midi, il y aura quelques conférences et nous essayons d'organiser une visite spéciale du hangar de réserve. Vous bénéficierez d'une entrée gratuite au Musée. Le musée ouvre à 9h00. Les participants à l'AGA de l’ACVV ont également droit à un stationnement gratuit. Nous vous enverrons votre permis de stationnement par courriel. La seule chose que vous devrez payer est le déjeuner (25 $). L'Hôtel Alt au centre-ville d'Ottawa offrira un tarif préférentiel de 194 $. Notez que vous pouvez modifier les dates de réservation en fonction de vos besoins.

Donc, veuillez indiquer vos intentions en remplissant le Formulaire de présence à l’AGA de l’ACVV.  Nous devons déterminer le nombre requis de déjeuners et de laissez-passer de stationnement. 

Voici le lien pour la version virtuelle de l'AGA de l’ACVV: https://sac-agm.in.howspace.com/

Lorsque vous arrivez au stationement, veuillez ne pas acheter de parking à la machine;  Venez plutôt au musée et je vous donnerai un laissez-passer de stationnement et votre laissez-passer d'entrée au musée.
