CP Air BC District Reunion Every five years since 2003 I have been involved in organizing originally what was a CP Air Whitehorse reunion which then changed to a BC district reunion. It has been five years since the last reunion. Please check CP Air Employees if you are interested in attending in September 2023 at Parksville, British Columbia. |

From the Wilf White Propliner collection courtesy of Larry Milberry @ canavbooks.wordpress.com.

In 1946 “AXQ” was acquired by Waite Fisheries of Ile-a-la-Crosse, Saskatchewan. |
