The BCFA directors are pleased to announce that Dominic Beaumont, last years 2016 "Freedom to Fly Floats in BC" winner, has successfully completed his rating last September with Fort Langley Air. In his own words he stated, "I feel so fortunate to have been given this opportunity by the BC Float Plane Association."

He helped out at the AGM and he has indicated his ongoing commitment to our association. He is currently working on his IFR and is planning on flying floats for a living.

Congratulations Dominic and welcome to the world of float flying.

We had a great weekend at Azure Lake. If you missed it, look for more trips next year.

The 2016 AGM and Fly-in was held at Nelson BC (CZNL/CAD8) on July 15-17. We had a great AGM, even though the weather did not cooperate and most folks ended up driving to Nelson.  The local Nelson Pilots Association hosted us at their clubhouse and provided great lunch and dinner with assistance of the local Rotary club.

BC Floatplane Association and BC Parks have just finished signing a 5 year extension to the MOU and Partnership agreement. This is great new about our continuing relationship with Parks.

There are many projects around the province that you can help with. BC Parks employees can now fly in BCFA members' aircraft and are covered by BC Parks insurance. Please consider helping with these projects.
