About The Okanagan Soaring Asociation (OSA)

The general purposes of the society are to:


a) Preserve access to free-flight soaring sites in the Okanagan Valley/Region
b) Obtain access to new free-flight soaring sites in the Okanagan Valley/Region
c) Promote free-flight in the Okanagan Valley/Region

Specifically, the Society:

  • Is a not-for-profit society that serves its members who fly non-powered aircraft in the Okanagan Valley/Region.
  • Exists to serve as a communication hub and public representative for the free flying community.
  • Seeks to improve the sites that its members use for launches and landings as well as to increase the overall number of sites available to its members.
  • Serves as an interface between the communities in which members engage in free flight and the members themselves. As such access advocacy is a strong mandate for the society.
  • Actively seeks opportunities to facilitate the growth of its members skills as this is directly related to public perception of the sport.
  • Has member dues which are applied to these simple intentions of the society and only a very small amount of those funds are used in the administration of member and volunteer activities.
  • Is not engaged in evaluation or certification of commercial pilots and operators as the national HPAC has that as its mandate.

Inquiries which can be handled by respective board members can be sent to the approprate board email address above. All other requests can be sent through this form. Requests for information should be responded to within a maximum of 48 hours of submission.
