Council supports ‘Wings Over Canada’ adventure Lyonel Doherty Oliver Chronicle
You have to spend money to make money. That’s what the Town of Oliver is thinking as it considers supporting a high profile event next year, which will be featured on television. At a recent council meeting, Vic Seder from the Oliver Flying Club presented “Wings Over Canada,” an event that will promote the community as a fly-in destination. The annual event consists of numerous planes flying across Canada in a unique televised adventure. The plan is to start the BC leg of the trip from the Oliver airport involving approximately 40 planes. “This is a great opportunity to put our airport on the map as a fly-in location and a place to spend tourist dollars,” said Mayor Pat Hampson.

The company (Century Flight Club Canada) that organizes the event is looking for a minimum of $2,000 in seed money from the town. The more welcoming the town is, and the more money it offers, the more the town will be promoted in the fly-in video. Seder said the Oliver portion of the flight will be an overnight affair, where pilots will stay in local motels, and fly out the next morning. Seder estimated that 80 to 100 people will spend the evening in Oliver. The flying club will prepare a big dinner for the pilots at the airport, Seder noted. Councillor Marji Basso said the Town works hard to promote the community and let everyone know it is open for business. “This is a good opportunity to do this.” But on Monday council members Jack Bennest and Michael Newman voted against funding the proposal. Bennest said he wasn’t convinced that two or three minutes of television exposure was worth the $2,000 price tag.
