Since September 1, 2021, a vaccination passport is in effect in Québec. This passport allows visitors and residents who are fully vaccinated to have access to non-essential activities and businesses, such as restaurants, bars, gyms, festivals and events (see the complete list here). The vaccination passport is required for everyone aged 13 and older.

Individuals who do not live in Québec and are travelling in Québec may enter places and participate in activities requiring a vaccine passport if they present the following two documents at the door:

  • Valid photo ID with an address outside Québec
  • Official proof of vaccination against COVID-19 issued by their country or province in Canada

Presenting one scholarship for 2021 courtesy of CAIR.

The goal of the CAAA Agricultural Aviation Scholarship is to strengthen the aerial application industry by helping CAAA Operators bring new pilots into the profession. Each applicant must be sponsored by a CAAA Operator, and scholarship recipients must use the proceeds for flight training or agricultural coursework at a university, college, community college or other institution of higher learning.
As you are going through this year’s season make note of those individuals or organizations that are worthy of recognition.

Each year the Canadian Aerial Applicators Association recognizes the achievements of its members and others dedicated to aerial application. The CAAA awards highlight the commitment and efforts of those who work to advance the industry. It is up to you to nominate these unsung heroes and recognize their efforts with these six prestigious awards. The awards will be presented at the CAAA convention in February 2022.
