SOGA
Grand Valley Hang Gliding is in partnership with SOGA. They are the largest hang gliding club in Ontario and are focused on ensuring there is a place to continue to fly hang gliders in SW-Ontario. The club:
- manages the airfield we aero-tow from
- provides its members with the Dragonfly Ultralight that tows us up
- liaises with Transport Canada on airspace issues
- liaises with our national association (HPAC)
When you train with us, you become a member of SOGA. They support our instructional ventures so we hope you continue to support their efforts once you become a certified pilot.
