2018 Annual Report and Financial Statements

Our selection committee completed interviews for 2019 and we are pleased to announce our Western Canadian delegate. We will let him introduce himself to you in his own words:

January 22, 2019, 

On this day 70 years ago, Squadron Leader Frederick (Freddie) Robert Gordon McCall, DSO, MC & Bar, DFC, WW I Flying Ace and “The Father of Calgary Commercial Aviation" died.

Hello! My name is Jarrett Murray, and I'm a 16 year old grade 11 French Immersion student at William Aberhart High School. I have always been very technical and at a young age I became fascinated by both aviation and space. My mom, who works for WestJet, always made sure I got to go up in the flight deck and talk to the pilots, crystallizing my goal of becoming a pilot.

Elizabeth spent two weeks in Houston, Texas this summer as part of the United Space School program representing Western Canada. We are very proud of how she represented us. Below is a summary written by Elizabeth about how she felt about her experience, and what she learned. Her excitement is absolutely infectious, and brought absolute joy to our year. We can tell that this combination of intelligence and enthusiasm will result in success as she persues her dreams.

We are pleased to announce our 2017 FISE United Space School Student who will be representing Western Canada this summer: Elizabeth Drew. We are also celebrating twenty years of sending students to this amazing academic program. It encourages us each year to see the caliber of students in Alberta who have the desire to have a career in the space industry. Here is a short introduction to Elizabeth in her own words:
