The Ninety-Nines Canadian Award in Aviation was
established in 1974 to promote aviation throughout Canada.
The
Award is presented to charitable institutions or organizations whose
activities promote, improve or preserve aviation and aeronautics in
Canada.
Each year, the board presents an award of
approximately $ 1,000 to 2,000. Interested applicants should provide background
information, future plans and reasons for requesting financial assistance.
As of 2005, Canada Revenue Agency requires that applicants provide a
charitable registration number as well. For more information about
Charitable Registrations numbers, please visit www.cra.gc.ca.
Applications should be mailed by
August 31st to

The Board of Trustees also continues the award's
association with the Pilot Training Achievement Awards program of the
Air Cadet League of Canada. These awards are given to selected graduates
of the Air Cadet Flying and Gliding Scholarship Program, and provide
funding to assist young fliers in building up flying hours while pursuing
an advanced licence and working toward an aviation career.
Trustees are grateful to Aviation Publishers Limited and Mr. Norm
Scudellari for their support in
giving these awards each year in memory of longtime Ninety-Nine and
