We need to "hire" a new volunteer to take on this key role in CHAA. Treasurer Ray Whittemore promises that training will be provided! If you have any interest in filling this important position, please contact Ray or myself. Edward Soye stepped in last year (June 2012) as an "interim" COpsO, but his "interim" term has extended even to this day. Edward will be stepping down (he is too young to retire!) at the end of the year. The position of COpsO needs to be filled as soon as is practical, so that when December 31st arrives, the transition may be seamless. If you are interested in this very important position or wish to know more of the responsibilities involved, please contact myself or Edward Soye. A third key position in CHAA is available...Safety and Standards Committee Chairperson. This very important committee in CHAA has been missing for a few years and we very much need to re-activate this committee that oversees all aspects of safety within CHAA and also maintains the Flight Operations Manual (FOM). Many members have commented about the CHAA website which has been out of commission for several weeks. Efforts are being made to bring our website back better than ever. The time frame we are hoping for is by the end of September. Please be patient! 2014 is the 75th Anniversary of the Harvard in Canada. We feel it important, that, as the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association, we need to host a celebration of the type here at Tillsonburg. So, the weekend of June 20-22, 2014 will be set aside to invite as many Harvard / T-6/ SNJ aircraft and RCAF veterans who flew or worked on Harvards to a fly-in reunion! We want it to be the best ever, so we are calling on you, our loyal volunteers to partner in this great event. We need a wide variety of members to step forward and join the planning committee, which at this point consists of Shane Clayton, Bob Trowell and myself. Many of you may have noticed a big new hangar being constructed just behind Hangar One. We welcome Danny Richer who will fly his BAC Strikemaster jet and T-28 Trojan from this location! Tillsonburg Regional Airport is becoming a local warbird hub and we appreciate the support and we have with the airport manager, Annette Murray. Another exciting addition to the airport is the SkyWay Restaurant, now operating seven days a week out of the main terminal building. Please support the fine folks that operate the restaurant to insure it will stay here for a long time. The food is reasonably priced and very good too! Even as I type this report, I received word that our Yale has taken to the skies again! Thanks to all involved in preparing the aircraft for this day and to Dave Hewitt and Greg Burnard, who have commenced a flight test program. Several pilots have indicated a desire to fly the Yale and we look forward to this great addition to our flight program! As fall approaches and our flying season starts to wind down, we have our BIG event of the year coming on September 14th...Wings and Wheels 2013. We always have a great time and this presents a great opportunity to meet other members and volunteers in a fun day filled with activities involving aircraft and cars. It is our day to showcase the Canadian Harvard Aircraft Association to the general public. So let the Harvards ROAR and our spirits will SOAR!> 3 | P a g e Looking for Email Addresses In order to compile an up to date database complete with names, phone numbers, addresses and email addresses we need your help. First let me re-assure everyone the database is for internal use only. None of the information complied will be use outside of CHAA. Mailing and emailing, on a rare occasion perhaps a phone call would be made to a member. Beyond these examples the database is to streamline the task of getting Harvard Happenings, The Roar of the Harvard to the membership and keeping track of the membership list from year to year and as renewals come in or as members sign up for the first time. Here’s how you can help. Email your information to Vic at [email protected] I really need your email address as I have everything else.

  • Airport Feasibility Study.Pdf
    The Corporation of the Town of Tillsonburg MEMORANDUM DATE: January 24, 2019 TO: Council FROM: Kevin De Leebeeck, P.Eng. Director of Operations SUBJECT: AIRPORT FEASIBILITY STUDY As part of the 2018 draft budget staff brought forward the Airport Master Plan update to support the 2015 “Approved in Principle” conceptual master plan drawing (attached) and to provide new strategic direction and planning for the future of the Airport. During the 2018 budget deliberations it was communicated that Council needed additional information regarding the asset such as; • potential increased funding and/or sale/transfer to Oxford County, • potential for tax revenue sharing with SWOX, • third party management, and • options for disposal As a result staff revised the 2018 Operations Business Plan and brought forward the concept of completing an “Airport Feasibility Study” in advance of proceeding with an Airport Master Plan update to address Councils additional information request. Unfortunately Operations Services was unable to complete this 2018 business objective due to, in part, continuous and prolonged staff vacancies as well as coming to the realization that much of the scope of work is beyond typical Operations staff undertakings. At the December 10, 2018 Council meeting Council requested staff to report on; • a new business model of a flight school managing the Airport facility, and • to provide a risk assessment of the general public accessing the Airport. Therefore as part of the 2019 draft budget staff re-introduced the “Airport Feasibility Study” incorporating and expanding upon all the informational items requested by Council as outlined above before proceeding with an Airport Master Plan update.

  • October 2019 NEWSLETTER
    October 2019 NEWSLETTER “A national organization dedicated to promoting the viability of Regional and Community Airports across Canada” www.rcacc.ca RCAC AIRPORT PROFILE: WilliamsJJul Lake’s BC First Airport – Part 2 In 1950, Canadian Pacific Airlines took over the route from Vancouver to Williams Lake, and larger airplanes began to make the run. Over 500 people, more than half the town, turned out to welcome the first DC-3 as it arrived with CP Air officials on the inaugural flight. They were most impressed with the enthusiasm and friendliness of the locals, but with the facilities — not so much. By 1960, it was obvious that the still unpaved runway was just too small for the size of the planes being purchased by the company, so a new airport was planned. The federal Department of Transportation completed this new facility, B.C.’s 82nd airport, on Fox Mountain in early 1961. The cost was $2Jj million. The Hon. Davy Fulton, Minister of Justice, used an axe to cut the ribbon to open the new complex. The old airport was soon bought up and developed into city housing lots. Ninth and Tenth Avenues South were added, as were Huston and Smedley cross streets. The whole are became known as the Airport Subdivision. Cataline School, prior to being given its current name, was known as Airport Elementary School. In 1996, the Federal Government ceased operating small, regional airports. Williams Lake believed that our city was too large a centre not to have an airport, and so, on Jan. 1, 1997, after some difficult negotiations, the city took over the responsibility for our Williams Lake Regional Airport.
