A Day of Inspiration and Leadership Development for Youth

Transcription

1 A Day of Inspiration and Leadership Development for Youth On Monday, 30 June 2014, Vintage Wings of Canada will host Commander Chris Hadfield, the Canadian Forces Snowbirds and the RCAF s 90th Anniversary CF-18 Demonstration Hornet fighter jet. This once-in-alifetime event is a coming together of some of Canada s most accomplished and inspirational aerospace leaders to celebrate not just this great country, but the men and women who make it that way. This leadership and youth development event will also host 300 of the most motivated youth between the ages of 12 and 18 from the National Capital Region. The Hadfield Summit will bring together the most successful and disciplined leaders ever to wear the uniform of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The entire Snowbird team, led by Quebec native Major Patrick Gobeil, Captain Adam Manik Runge, the 2014 Hornet demonstration pilot, and Michael Potter, Honorary Colonel of the Snowbirds and founder of Vintage Wings of Canada will be on hand to speak with young people. Of course, everyone is excited that Commander Chris Hadfield, astronaut, warbird pilot and member of the Board of Directors of Vintage Wings of Canada will headline the event. Commander Hadfield, an international superstar and Canadian cultural icon, needs no introduction. Chris, whose recent book An Astronaut s Guide to Life on Earth has become an international bestseller, has become a recognized and much sought-after authority on leadership, touring the world addressing conventions, associations and leaders. Hadfield will give a powerfully motivating presentation, directed at the youth in attendance, on how life-choices, goal-setting, creativity and discipline gave him the structure to succeed at the highest level imaginable. In addition the youth will tour the Michael Potter Collection of historic aircraft and attend briefings on Vintage Wings of Canada and the British Commonwealth Air Training Plan, where so many of the great and inspirational leaders of the Second World War were nurtured. Following Commander Hadfield s presentation in the morning, the youth attendees will become part of a truly unique event The Hadfield Youth Leadership Summit. A question and answer period with Commander Hadfield, who will take questions from the Summit s attending youth.

2 A contest will be run among the youth to propose the twelve best questions about leadership and goal-setting to ask Commander Hadfield. The 12 winners will get to deliver their questions to Commander Hadfield in person. The day s events include time for autographs from the Snowbirds, touring static aircraft on the Gatineau Ottawa Executive Airport ramp and a powerful surprise tribute to a Canadian hero. Lunch will be provided to the youth on the field under a marquis tent. After the lunch break all youth in attendance are invited to pose for a group photograph with Commander Hadfield, the entire Snowbird Team and Captain Runge. This photograph will be free to download on the Vintage Wings website and Facebook page the following week. This will be followed by an autograph session with members of the Snowbirds team. Of course, when you have pilots on hand, you will have flying. The day s sessions begin at 9 AM, early enough for the youth to tour static aircraft and witness the spectacular arrival of the Snowbirds team, the CF-18 Demo Hornet and Commander Hadfield. At 15:30 the youth will witness the boom and zoom thrills of the mighty CF-18 Hornet Demonstration with Captain Manik Runge, celebrating the 90th birthday of the Royal Canadian Air Force. The day s events will be followed by a private evening event held at Michael Potter s residence with Commander Chris Hadfield and the entire Snowbird team in attendance for an intimate informal affair. Selected sponsors will be invited to attend this event.
