Prairie’s aviation program has grown exponentially over the past 30 years. Our partnership with Mission Aviation Fellow of Canada (MAF) has made this program a remarkable success. We are bulging at the seams and do not have sufficient room to properly accommodate all of our students, staff, simulators, and some of our daily routines.
Our vision is to double capacity in Prairie’s Aviation Training Centre. The expansion of our hangar facility to include more space for classrooms, simulators, maintenance facilities, study space, and lounge will enable us to double our annual intake of pilots and mechanics in training. MAF has agreed to raise 50% of the $8.5 million required for this expansion, with Prairie committed to raise the remaining $4.25 million.
A new generation of mission aviators is answering the call to serve, and no organization is better positioned to train them than MAF, but our current facility is bursting at the seams. That’s why we’re investing in expanding our training centre to better fulfill our mission of reaching the world’s most isolated people.
Meeting the increasing demands of a world in need requires a larger world-class training facility. That’s why we’ve launched the Next Generation Campaign. Our goal is to expand our training centre by 2025 so that we can produce twice the number of aviators. But we can’t do it without you.
In March, we received a $10 million commitment for the Residence! It has launched the project from the vision stage to the pre-construction stage.
Along with this large gift, Prairie has also received a $5 Million Matching Challenge for alumni and friends of Prairie to give donations and double their impact for the Residence project.

Safe and convenient! In a few simple steps you can set-up a monthly gift and not have to worry about it again until you wish to stop. Please select one of the following two options:
Do you have a tangible asset (real estate or physical property) that you no longer need or you think would enhance Prairie’s program? Rather than sell the asset you could gift it. Prairie would be able to issue you a tax donation receipt for the sale value of the property or value determined by a qualified third-party appraisal. There are some ‘hoops to jump through’ and Canada Revenue Agency rules to follow, but we’ve done it before and would be happy to guide you through the process.
