The BCFA once again congratulates our 2025 scholarship winners, Keigham Broney and Bruno Pereira
Kiegham Broney who is currently pursuing her Group 1 Multi-Engine Instrument Rating and plans to complete her floatplane training at Airhart Aviation in Kelowna. She anticipates relocating temporarily to the Canadian North and hopes to engage in aerial firefighting upon her return to BC.
Bruno Pereira, originally from Brazil, relocated to Vancouver to pursue his Commercial Pilot License. Inspired by the unique opportunities in floatplane aviation, Bruno completed his floatplane training at Nimpo Lake this past fall with support from the BCFA scholarship. Bruno looks forward to the adventures ahead.
