The Webster Memorial Trophy Competition has now drawn to a close with a magnificent awards banquet held at the fabulous Brampton Courtyard Marriott, where after an anxious evening of anticipation the winner and runner-up were announced.
Captain Dennis Guay, Manager Flight Standards for Air Canada announced the winner, Cory-Daniel Raby representing Eastern Ontario and being trained through the Algonquin College Diploma Programme became the 2009 Webster winner. Congratulations Cory.
Bruce Carter, retired Webster judge and husband of Eunice Carter after which the Eunice Carter Memorial Award was named announced the runner-up who this year was Kevin Dhaliwal representing British Columbia and flying out of Coastal Pacific Aviation, Abbotsford.
Photos of all the finalists will be posted on this website shortly with their respective biographies. Numerous additional photographs taken by our phenomenal photographer Marcel Keays will also be available shortly on this website and through access to his personal gallery.
All the finalists claimed to have had a wonderful time and although the weather had to be taken into account as often happens, the competition was successfully completed. Our finalists also had the opportunity through the generosity of Air Canada Jazz to take an evening and fly Dash-8 and Regional Jet full-motion/full vis simulators.
The Webster Team wishes to thank all those who have contributed and supported the Webster programme which is continuing to grow. A more formal thank you article naming all of those involved is being prepared for upcoming issues of COPA Flight and WINGS magazine.
Congratulations to all of the 2009 finalists – a job well done!
