This is my first post as the CEO of the Ottawa Flying Club. It is a honor to be given the responsibility for such a venerable organization. The club has been active since 1928 and has a long history of promoting aviation in Canada. In the last few years, a strong partnership has formed with Algonquin College where OFC provides professional flight training to students at the Algonquin Aviation Management program. While this is beneficial for the club in terms of increased activity and revenue, it is also creating new challenges for a club that is now a multi-million dollar business. Properly managing the growth in the next few years will be critical to ensure that the club continues to benefit from its new business activities. I look forward to these challenges and would appreciate any comments the club members may have regarding the way ahead.
