The application deadline for Indigenous people interested in training to become commercial pilots here in Thompson is closing tomorrow.

The Atik Mason Indigenous Pilot Pathway is a fully-funded training program that will take place between this month and September at the Thompson Airport.

The program’s namesake will be instructing students, as Mason is a commercial airline pilot from Saint Theresa Point who currently flies for Perimeter Aviation.

The program is from the Exchange Income Corporation, which was developed in partnership with Manitoba Keewatinowi Okimakanak.
