The Club has moved on from there - see "Club Information>History":

"1995 to 1997
Jim McEwen was the President, Lorne Trottier was the VP, Gabriel Chagnon was the Secretary. With experience gained the Club Executive developed a Master Plan which addressed encroachment and safety concerns as well as changes that could be made to improve the facilities for the enjoyment of the members. The pilot stations were moved to the north side of the runway to shift the traffic pattern to the south and away from the buildings along Pilon. Plans were made for a sun shelter, BBQ area, childrens play area, and improved parking. The club General Rules and Safety Rules were revised and updated incorporate the new layout and the Rule Enforcement Policy was developed. These changes were ratified at the 1996 AGM."
