SOSA Gliding Club was founded in 1948 and is one of the oldest and largest
clubs in Canada with more than 150 members.
The club owns the airfield which has three grass runways, two hangars, a
workshop, a clubhouse, three tow planes as well as five single and five
two-seat gliders. In addition, there are more than 30 privately owned
gliders on the airfield.
There is an extensive campground as well as shower and kitchen facilities in
the clubhouse. Many members keep a house trailer on the property and camp at
the club on weekends and throughout the summer holidays.
SOSA pilots engage in all types of flying from local soaring flights to
aerobatics as well as advanced cross-country soaring and racing in
competitions. There are several National Champions and record holders among
the club members as well as National Team members.
SOSA Gliding Club is a voluntary organization. Our instructors and tow
pilots must join the club like all other members and they are not paid.
