HONOUR ROLL
Over the years, ATAC has established a practice of recognizing the outstanding achievements in our industry. In keeping with this tradition, ATAC is pleased to announce the establishment of the ATAC Achievers Honour Roll.
In honour of ATAC Board members Al Kapty, Rick Wynott and John Scholefield, who have made many lasting and significant contributions to our industry, the ATAC Achievers Honour Roll was established as a permanent memorial to their achievements and to honour others who may meet their standard in the future.
The Honour Roll will recognize those ATAC members who, through participation in ATAC and other activities, have demonstrated a very high level of service and performance of benefit to aviation in Canada. The Honour Roll will be sponsored and supported by ATAC members.
Honour Roll Inductees would be recognized at the ATAC Annual General Meeting. Nominations to the Honour Roll can be made by any ATAC member of any individual, group or corporation who have contributed positively to aviation in Canada. This is not an annual recognition or event so as to be a very special honour when the ATAC Board decides someone or something is worthy of this recognition .
