North Bay's JackGarland Airport will host industry professionals from across the country next week during the annual convention of the Airport Management Council of Ontario (AMCO).
The 31st annual convention will take place Oct. 3-5 at the Best Western Hotel and Conference Centre in North Bay. It will include a trade show hosting more than 30 exhibitors, numerous seminars featuring an array of aviation related presentations, and unlimited networking opportunities.
In addition, there will be a golf tournament, along with tours of the airport, Canadore College’s School of Aviation Technology, and facilities at CFB North Bay. A cruise of Lake Nipissing on the Chief Commanda and a banquet dinner at the historic Capitol Centre will also be highlights of the event.
This year, a donation to The Gathering Place will be made on behalf of speakers at the convention. The Gathering Place provides services that ensure everyone in the community has food to eat. Among other programs is the drop-in meal service, the most popular service, which provides meals for those who would otherwise go hungry. The Gathering Place has also created an Extreme Weather Centre providing shelter to those in need during our drastic winter and summer months.
