Brandon's Flight Centre will be hosting the grand opening of the Dauphin Flight training program this Saturday at the Dauphin airport from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m.
There will be a ribbon-cutting ceremony, a barbecue, a silent auction, and flights around the city as the Flight Centre introduces itself to the community.
CEO of the company David Creighton explains what the Centre hopes comes out of the opening and why they came to Dauphin,
"It's just a really good opportunity for folks to come out and witness what goes on at the airport. Get an idea if they have been thinking about flying or even kind of just want to know a little more about it, it'll be a great opportunity for that. The Dauphin Flying club has been trying to reinvent itself for a while; with everything like this going on as well, it will be a really opportunity for them to kind of get some new energy going in their club."
Jillian Borreson, Student Services Coordinator, touched on the day and where the proceeds from the event will go.
"There will be sightseeing rides available with a min donation of $20, with all proceeds going towards a scholarship fund for the Dauphin and area students. "
The flight training program began in Dauphin on August 6th, and this event will officially assert the program's presence in the city.
