Chair’s Message

Welcome to HAC’s Ottawa 2017 Convention!

We have made some significant changes to this year’s Show format, and we hope you will enjoy them. We have collaborated with Transport Canada to jointly develop our Safety program and we have invited some Friday, and we have invited some high-profile international speakers to round out the content of Friday’s Safety Forum themed, “Advancing Safety in Challenging Economic Circumstances.”

We have been planning for more involvement from Transport Canada Inspectorate staff at our Committee meetings on Thursday, in an effort to re-invigorate a dialogue with the regulator. There is certainly lots to talk about, including the draft Fatigue Management Regulations, the pilot shortage that most operators felt this year, the new H1 Heliport Guidance material, Forestry Hiring Practices, the looming release of the TSB’s Study of Air Taxi Accidents – to name only a few!

We will also be holding a Closing Banquet at the Shaw Convention Centre next to the Westin on Saturday night – You will not want to miss Derek Seguin’s Overtorqued Comedy Show, which will follow dinner! Derek has an hour of flight training under his belt, and he is looking forward to providing you with his insights on the experience.

Many operators have experienced a strong and successful operating season this year and we hope that you will take some time to chat with your suppliers, whether on our Trade Show floor, over a cocktail at one of our receptions, or over lunch. They truly are our partners-in-success and their support of our Convention and of our Industry is extremely valuable.

We hope that you will enjoy your time in Ottawa during Canada’s 150th birthday celebration, and the 100th Anniversary of Vimy Ridge. Please consider taking some time on Saturday to break from the Convention and attend the Remembrance Day Ceremony at the War Memorial, which is located very close to the Westin Hotel.

On behalf of your HAC Board of Directors, I sincerely thank you all for taking the time to attend our 2017 Convention and for your continued support of your Association.

Cheers!

SPECIAL PERFORMANCE BY: DEREK SEGUIN

Actor, host and undeniably one of Canada’s hottest comedians

DINNER SPONSORED BY 19:00 – MIDNIGHT

President’s Message

I wanted to take a moment add my welcome to Jen’s. According to most operators, this year’s operating season was a welcome shot-in the-arm in a series of unremarkable nine years.

The Conference is your opportunity to relax, to engage in some professional development, to plan for next year and to reconnect with others in the industry from across the country. We have prepared a great event for you this year!

We are placing a special focus on safety this year – to push our accident rate down even further. We have also tried to re-energize the discussions that take place on our committees, and to re-engage with Transport Canada’s Regional and Headquarters Inspectorate staff. You will notice more of them presenting in our Committees, and we have adjusted the timing of our Convention to facilitate their participation.

We are offering a few more business-related speakers and more business-oriented professional development content, to help you trim your proverbial sails for next season.

Please take an hour on Saturday morning to attend the Annual General Meeting. A number of our Board positions are up for election, and this is your opportunity to involve yourself in the democratic process. Nominate someone and vote, or even run for election to one of the Board of Director positions. Nominations will be open until Friday night.

Please spend some time on the trade show floor with some of our valued suppliers. Our Associates and exhibitors are partners in our success – without them our industry couldn’t prosper.

And finally, don’t miss Derek Seguin’s Overtorqued at our Saturday night Gala Dinner. I had an opportunity to attend Derek’s first Flying Lesson, which he will talk about on Saturday. On more than one occasion I thought “he’d lost it, altogether,” but I think he honestly believes that he was in perfect control of the aircraft at all times – so he must be a real helicopter pilot . . . Our special thanks to HTSC for allowing us to use their Jet Ranger for the flight, and to Derek for allowing himself to be subjected to the humbling experience…recorded on video, for your Saturday viewing pleasure.

Thank you all for attending, and for your continuing support. Enjoy the Show!

Gala Dinner Speaker Derek Seguin

Undeniably one of Canada’s hottest comedians, Derek Seguin has been touring clubs and theatres across North America intensely for the past few years and his debut concert album, “Newfie Octopus” is a bestseller on CD Baby and on iTunes. Whether he’s ragging on politics or describing life with his children, he brings us into his perspective without preaching any selfish point of view. His undeniable charm makes him simply fun to watch and listen to and is in large part why he is one of Canada’s most “in demand” comedians.

Montreal-based Seguin is one of the most sought after stand up comedians on the international circuit. He has performed at the prestigious invitation-only Just For Laughs festival an impressive six times. Last year, he filmed a gala set for HBO at the festival where he received a standing ovation at the city’s 3,500 seat Place des Arts. This led to an invitation to perform at this year’s Nasty Show.

GQ Magazine’s comedy editor reported that: “Montreal-comic Derek Seguin stole one of the most star-studded gala shows last year from host Whitney Cummings. This year he appeared in The Nasty Show (in which the stand-ups perform their most shocking and filthy material) and proceeded to steal that too. A true star and Montreal’s pride and joy.”

MARK ARUJA CHAIR, UNMANNED SYSTEMS CANADA

Mark Aruja has diverse experience in defence, government, industry and the not-for-profit sector spanning over 40 years, characterized by leading change. His boyhood dreams of flying were fulfilled with a 32-year aviation career in the Canadian Armed Forces ending with a number of senior appointments including Wing Commander.

Mark leveraged his operational and procurement experience in defence during 12 years as a Business Development Manager with Thales, a multinational company in the defence, aerospace and security sectors.

Aruja’s first participation with USC was in 2003 at the inaugural annual conference, participating as an industrialist. He viewed this association as an invaluable vehicle to bring together the diverse party’s necessary to create and realize transformational change opportunities. When he was voted to the Board, he championed the strategic focus of the association on civil and commercial UAS opportunities, now being realized in dramatic fashion. While there is much to be done in this sector, the next true leap for Canadian society promises to be in automated vehicles, where a new leadership team and network will need to be created.

Mark is an engineering graduate of the Royal Military College and has taken numerous courses over the years in aerospace systems, international security and in business management.
