Borden Flying Club

Up-to-date hangar facilitiesFederally incorporated in 1958 as the Centralia Flying Club, the BFC changed its name after relocating to CFB Borden in 1967. In the fall of 2004 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 membership@bordenflyingclub.com

Election of New Board of Directors

Submitted by President on Fri, 03/07/2014 - 14:26

Each year, at the AGM, the membership elects a new board of directors. The membership elects 7 people to the board. At its inaugural meeting, the board appoints the executive (president, vice-president, secretary & treasurer). Any club member may stand for election to the forthcoming board by nominating him or herself. If you are interested in running please complete the self nomination form. Nominations are open up to the morning of the AGM.

If you are interested in getting involved in the governance of the club I urge you to consider putting your name forward. There is no minimum time that you need to have been a club member in order to stand for election. If you have any questions please feel free to contact any of the current board members. A strong board is essential to a strong club.

The slate of candidates for this year's election is available on the members only portion of the web site.
 

Tanis Heater Website Control Inoperative

Submitted by Operations on Wed, 03/05/2014 - 17:16

Due to a serviceability issue the Tanis heater cannot be activated from the website control panel for several days.

The heater itself is still fully functional but can only be activated on-site by manually plugging it in.

With a persistent forecast for cold temps anyone flying will need to come onsite to pre-heat PDW for the required amount of time; sorry for the inconvenience.

For further information or update please email Operations.

Message from the President

Club CardinalThey say that it is amazing how time flies! Well, I cannot believe that we are already celebrating the 1st anniversary with PDW. She is just back fresh from her 1st annual with the club, which cleared up outstanding legacy issues. The goal has always been to bring PDW up to the high standards that we set for CMQ. We are well on our way to achieving that goal.

This winter has been brutally harsh when it comes to good flying days, but as I look out the window at another sunny day, the 3rd in a row, I am re-assured that this winter cannot last forever and that great flying days are soon to be ahead.

A reminder that the nomination form will be live in March for those interested in running for the Board of Directors. I encourage all members to consider running for the Board, and actively help assist in the future governance and support of the Club.

Chris Thompson
President
