Aviation students can now apply for an opportunity to attend the 12th-annual CHC Safety & Quality Summit in Vancouver, through grants which honour Dr. Peter Gardiner, a long-time advocate of excellence in aviation safety training.
The grant, worth more than $4,000, covers admission to the Summit; and a choice of one of the pre-event courses; as well as C$1,500 in hotel and travel reimbursement.
The summit, hosted by CHC Helicopter, is recognised by many as the most important helicopter-safety conference in the world.
This year’s event will be focused on the theme Back to Basics: Prioritising Safety in a Challenging Economy.
The 2016 summit will be held April 4-6 at the Westin Bayshore Resort in Vancouver, with pre-summit courses starting April 01.
The late Dr Peter Gardiner was president and chief executive officer of the Southern California Safety Institute (SCSI).
Students interested in this year’s grants must apply and submit a 500-word essay by December 9. More information is available at www.chcsafetyqualitysummit.com
