Youth Contest Support

Youth Contest Support

If you are a young glider pilot interested in competing in the Canadian Nationals, SAC will cover the cost of your entry fee for the Nationals, up to a maximum of $250. This is SAC’s way of helping to encourage young adults to hone their soaring skills by participating in a contest. This funding is available to any young person under the age of 25.

 If you are interested in receiving this funding, please send an e-mail to the SAC Treasurer in advance of the event indicating that you’d like to take advantage of this funding. Upon completion of the event, provide proof of payment to the SAC Treasurer and you will receive a cheque for the reimbursement of the entry fee, up to a maximum of $250.
