May Conference Scholarship & Programs Fund Raiser

Welcome to the British Columbia Aviation Council May Conference Online Auction. Half of all proceeds are used to support 2024’s $150,000+ value Scholarship Award Program. This is Canada’s largest Aviation and Aerospace scholarship program.

The remaining proceeds are used to support and rebuild BCAC programs and services to the Aviation and Aerospace Community - especially our extremely active Youth offerings and tackling Human Resources challenges.

All personally donated items or cash donations will receive a charitable tax receipt from the BC Aviation Council.

A proxy bid allows you to enter the maximum amount you're willing to spend with the goal of winning the item at the lowest possible price. The system will bid for you, up to your maximum proxy bid amount, as additional bids are entered on the item.

An exact bid is the amount you want the item's current selling price to immediately jump to. Your bid amount will not change as additional higher bids are entered on the item.

If an item receives a bid during the final 3 minutes of the auction, the item end time will be extended to allow for 3 additional minutes of bidding. This process repeats until no new bids are received during the final 3 minutes of the item bidding window or the auction has been extended for a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the original end time. This is called extended bidding and is designed to discourage last minute bid sniping.

For 86 years, the British Columbia Aviation Council has worked tirelessly to ensure an Aviation and Aerospace industry that is visible, connected and thriving. With over 1100 Members and another 7000 Supporters, the BCAC is the oldest and most active regional aviation and aerospace council in the country.

Our Conference, focusing on the challenges our industry is currently facing, was in Nanaimo at the Vancouver Island Convention Centre May 27-29, 2024. It is one of North America’s leading aviation and aerospace policy/program focussed events and drives the BC Aviation Council’s agenda for the following year.

Our next big event and online auction is our Silver Wings Industry and Scholarship Awards Celebration, Friday October 18th, at the Vancouver Trade and Convention Centre.
