"I am infinitely honoured to be the recipient of the Captain Judy Cameron Air Canada scholarship because it helped me achieve my Multi IFR training which by completing gave me the job opportunity to be a forest detector pilot. From April to September, I flew a Cessna 182 retractable and was able to discover new places, airports, amazing sceneries and of course some fires. Between April and September. Thank you so much to Air Canada, Captain Judy Cameron and to Norther Lights Aero Foundation," said Kahina Gagnon.
