After a very successful event in 2022, the Canadian Owners and Pilots Association (COPA) Discover Aviation program is happening again soon. The free Discover Aviation program at the Welland Airport at Fenwick, Ontario is hosted by COPA Flight 149. Discover Aviation is planned for Saturday, August 19, 2023, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. It will take place at the Niagara Central Dorothy Rungeling Airport, (aka Welland Airport). Doug Reilly, COPA Flight 149, Discover Aviation Coordinator said, “We are very excited about our August 19 'Discover Aviation Day'. Last year we were able to introduce 85 young people to the magic of flight. We had a waiting list of over 40 would be aviators, that were given 'first dibs' in the 2023 program and quite a few have already registered.” The airport was originally built by the Royal Canadian Air Force as part of the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan and was associated with the Dunnville airfield that was doing similar training during World War 2. After the war various entities operated the airport and it became known as the Welland-Port Colborne Airport. Source: thoroldtoday.ca |

For further information about the Passarola Sports Events please contact Keith Miller: *Padel (or Padel Tennis) in addition to being a very social sport, is rewarding for the practitioner from day one. Unlike other sports where lessons are needed to benefit from it, Padel is easy to play, fun and accessible to any type of person. Whether the player is a little or very athletic, with good technique or not, fun is guaranteed and the dynamics of the game are much more attractive than in similar sports, such as tennis. Most practitioners experience rapid improvement and become easily addicted. In Portugal, it grew very quickly. Practitioners are generally friends who meet at the end of the day to practice padel. |
