Please update your membership profile by going to the Members Only section of the club's website. This ensures that we have up to date contact information for you.
Other club members have access to your home, work & cell phone numbers as well as your email address. This is all stored in a secure database away from the prying eyes of search engines and spammers. Directors and staff (if we had any staff) can access your next of kin , pilot & membership information.
As part of updating your profile it is important to review and update your pilot information. This is sent to our insurance company each May. The more experience our members have the better our chances of reducing those insurance rates. The best way to help the club reduce our insurance premiums is to fly at least 10 hours a year; or better yet, 20. This, along with advanced training, are the two most significant factors in determining the club's insurance premiums.

We last increased the hourly rate on CMQ in June 2006 when we added $2 per hour. Since then fuel has gone up more than 20 cents a litre with no end to the increases in sight.
With this in mind, the Board has deemed a rate increase as necessary and unavoidable. Effective May 1st the rental rates will be:

Want to find out more about the Borden Flying Club? Seen our ad in COPA Flight? Visit our new member's page for more info.
Federally incorporated in 1958 as the Centralia Flying Club, the BFC changed its name after relocating to CFB Borden in 1967. In the fall of 2002 the club moved to Lake Simcoe Regional Airport (CNB9) following Base Borden’s decision to close the aerodrome and in March 2007 the club moved to its current home at Edenvale Aerodrome.
The Borden Flying Club is open to everyone. We have something to offer renters, owners and aviation enthusiasts alike. If you would like further information or are interested in becoming a member please contact us at President@bordenflyingclub.com
