Air Canada Announces Scholarships for Aspiring Aircraft Maintenance Engineers at 7 Technical Colleges Across the Country Air Canada today has announced an agreement with seven colleges across the country to provide financial assistance to students who self-identify as women or visible minorities who are pursuing studies as Aircraft Maintenance Engineers (AMEs). This new scholarship strengthens Air Canada's commitment to supporting access for under-represented students in this highly desirable career path. One student from each school will receive a $1,500 scholarship to assist with the cost of their education to become AMEs. Students who are awarded a scholarship will be offered an opportunity for a work placement at Air Canada Maintenance. The initial agreement with the schools is for three years. |

Submitted by photographer Gary Vincent - (NetLetter #1526 - Wayne's Wings) A late correction for your excellent CP Air Attaché article. Of the five B-737-300's delivered to CP Air, only two were in the grey Attaché colours. The first 737-317 (C-FCPG) was delivered in CP Air orange. The next two (C-FCPI & C-FCPJ) had the Attaché colors and the last two (C-FCPK & C-FCPL) were in blue Canadian Pacific Airlines colours. Someone else has probably already told you this, but I wanted to dig and find a photo of one of the last two aircraft..... that took a little while. |

Submitted by Lady Michelle Wall - (NetLetter 1527 - Women in Aviation) I was delighted to see this (and other) articles about Judy Cameron. I met her in high school when she took me under her wing during track and field part of our PE classes (only part of PE I enjoyed and was any good at). She was a year older but our school had recently switched to a semester system so I got to be with the older kids for many of my classes. Even got to go to their grad as they had a shortage of girls. She was a really decent person with a lot of the traits that would serve her well when she discovered her calling. I'd heard that she went on to become a ground-breaking pilot but didn't know her married name. When Kits High (Kitsilano, Vancouver) had its 100th anniversary, it was the only school reunion I went to. My cousin and sister also went with me...and Brian as my guest since he had dropped out of school and gone to work on his 15th birthday. Didn't see any of my classmates but ran into a few from my sister's era and class ahead of me that I knew. We were quite miffed that school featured the likes of actor Ryan Reynolds and DJ Jolly John Tanner in their 'successful grads' feature, but completely failed to include Judy (Evans) or Juliette Sysak Cavazzi - who were groundbreakers for women and Canadians at that time. |
