New $2,500 scholarships to be awarded to four first-year aviation program students at Sault College
To celebrate 25 years of ownership of the Sault Ste. Marie Airport, the Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation will fund four new $2,500 scholarships to be awarded to first-year aviation program students at Sault College.
“The SSMADC Board of Directors recognizes the support of the community in helping the airport to succeed and wanted to give back to the community through these donations in recognition of our 25th anniversary owning the Sault Ste. Marie Airport,” says Terry Bos, SSMADC president and CEO, in a news release.On March 28, 2023, the Sault Ste. Marie Airport Development Corporation celebrates 25 years of ownership of the Sault Ste. Marie Airport.
The SSMADC has faced numerous challenges to make it through 25 years, the first of which was eliminating a million dollar a year deficit. In 2000, the two national airline carriers – Air Canada and Canadian – merged into one, eliminating half of the airline service at the airport. Sept. 11, 2001 saw the terrorist attacks on the twin towers and the closing of airspace for a period of time. Currently, the airport is still recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic that started in March 2020.
Today to celebrate 25 years of ownership, the SSMADC is starting four new scholarships of $2,500 each for first-year aviation program students at Sault College. Sault College has one of the premier flight training programs in the country, and has a long relationship with the SSMADC.
