At our annual Silver Wings Industry and Scholarship Awards gala celebration, the BC Aviation Council (BCAC) recognizes industry colleagues for specific achievements within the province’s aviation and aerospace industry. The BCAC also awards over $70,000 in annual scholarships to students that have made aviation and aerospace their career choice. We invite you to join us at this gala celebration with other industry leaders and influencers. The evening includes a lively awards ceremony, fine food, live entertainment, an online auction, a high-end travel raffle, a 50/50 draw, and superb networking opportunities.
From 16:45 – 17:45, there is a reception for Women in Aviation and Aerospace hosted by the BCAC’s Chair, Heather McCarley, and Vice-Chair, Cathy Press (from Vantage Airport Group and Chinook Helicopters, respectively). Admission is by voluntary donation to the Mary Swain Scholarship which supports women in aviation – details can be found on our Scholarship web page.
