4 / ATAC 2016
As Premier of the Province of British Columbia, I am pleased to welcome everyone to Vancouver’s Westin Bayshore Hotel for the 82nd National Aviation Conference and Tradeshow, hosted by the Air Transport Association of Canada (ATAC).
This three-day event is a great opportunity for air transport professionals to network and discuss various topics such as innovation and stress management. Delegates will also learn about updates to the Civil Aviation Program and other important initiatives. I am sure that the presentations and discussions will bring to light practical information that will be beneficial to everyone attending this event.
Since 1934, the ATAC has worked with various regulatory bodies to promote innovation and the highest standards of safety in this sector. I would like to commend them for their entrepreneurial spirit and support of growth in the Canadian commercial aviation industry.
Welcome to Vancouver. I wish you a most successful Conference.
Sincerely,
Christy Clark Premier

Aaron McCrorie Director General, Civil Aviation (Aviation Safety Regulatory Framework), Transport Canada
Aaron McCrorie was appointed as one of two Directors-general of Civil Aviation at Trans-port Canada in April 2015 after leading a number of regulatory programs in the area of surface security, security for major special events, aviation security, and most recently, aviation safety. Aaron has been at Transport Canada since 1999.
Today, the scope of Aaron’s mandate is the aviation safety framework, which includes establishing safety policies, regulations, and standards for aviation and aerospace in Canada. Aaron is equally responsible for the development of the guidance, tools and instructions to help industry comply with regulations and for inspectors to oversee regulatory compliance.
As Director General, Aaron values soliciting the views of stakeholders, and promoting col-laboration with the industry to determine in-novative regulatory solutions. Over the years, Aaron has also cultivated strong relationships with authorities around the world including the United States Federal Aviation Adminis-tration, and Transportation Security Adminis-tration, the European Aviation Safety Agency, as well as the Civil Aviation Administration of China. He very much encourages an open, honest and respectful discussion within his own team, which helps to break down com-munication barriers that inevitably exist in large organizations such as Transport Canada.
Aaron holds a Bachelor of Arts degree from Carleton University, a Master of Arts degree from the University of Regina and started work on a PhD at York University. All degrees are in Political Science.
