Silver Wings Industry and Scholarship Awards Celebration 2024

At our annual Silver Wings Industry and Scholarship Awards Celebration, the BCAC recognizes aviation and aerospace industry colleagues for specific achievements. As well, we disburse approximately $150,000 CAD through our Scholarship Awards Program to hard-working students enrolled in aviation and/or aerospace programs in British Columbia.

We invite you to join us at this annual Awards Celebration at the Vancouver Convention Centre West on Friday, October 18th for an evening of fine food, live entertainment, an Online Auction, a 50/50 Draw, a vibrant awards ceremony and unparalleled networking opportunities.

Registration is open.

CWAAR24 admission is by invitation and a voluntary donation to the Mary Swain Scholarship fund which supports women in aviation.
