June Conference Scholarship & Programs Fund Raiser

Welcome to the British Columbia Aviation Council June Conference Online Auction. Half of all proceeds are used to support 2023’s $100,000+ value Scholarship Award Program. This is Canada’s largest Aviation and Aerospace scholarship program.

The remaining proceeds are used to support and rebuild BCAC programs and services to the Aviation and Aerospace Community - especially our extremely active Youth offerings.

All personally donated items or cash donations will receive a charitable tax receipt from the BC Aviation Council.

A proxy bid allows you to enter the maximum amount you're willing to spend with the goal of winning the item at the lowest possible price. The system will bid for you, up to your maximum proxy bid amount, as additional bids are entered on the item.

An exact bid is the amount you want the item's current selling price to immediately jump to. Your bid amount will not change as additional higher bids are entered on the item.

If an item receives a bid during the final 3 minutes of the auction, the item end time will be extended to allow for 3 additional minutes of bidding. This process repeats until no new bids are received during the final 3 minutes of the item bidding window or the auction has been extended for a maximum of 30 minutes beyond the original end time. This is called extended bidding and is designed to discourage last minute bid sniping.

Since 1938, the British Columbia Aviation Council has worked tirelessly to ensure an aviation and aerospace industry that is visible, connected and thriving. With over 1050 Members and another 6900 Supporters, the BCAC is the oldest and most active regional aviation and aerospace council in the country.
