Maritime pilots: the 17th Annual (2013) Festival of Free Flight will be May 17-20, 2013.
http://hpaac.ca/2013-festival-of-free-flight/495
The event marks the start of the flying season for many people and is the largest gathering of Maritime pilots during the year. With over nine different potential flying sites and friendly competitions, it is a social highlight for many pilots.
Pilots from across Canada looking to visit the East should consider making the journey to Nova Scotia for this premier event. With several days of potential flying and a lobster boil on the beach overlooking the scenic Bay of Fundy, this is a very special event.

HANG GLIDER AND PARAGLIDER PILOTS ALSO FLYING PARAMOTORS AND ULTRALIGHTS
The HPAC third-party liability insurance is restricted to non-motorized foot-launched hang gliding and paragliding only and does not cover any form of motorized flight. Motorized flight is an entirely different category (ultralights) under Transport Canada.
Pilots flying paramotors and ultralights are encouraged to seek out third-party liability insurance through the UltraLight Pilots Association of Canada (www.upac.ca).
