are you interested in college type or regular flight school?

There are a couple good schools at boundary bay(ZBB), Pitt Meadows (YPK), Abbottsford (YXX), Kelowna (YLW). Other than that, it's mostly small schools all over the southern half of the province.

In Vancouver: ZBB: I would check out Pro IFR/VFR, Canadian Flight Centre, Pacific Flying Club, Montair. at YXX: Coastal Pacific Aviation, and maybe Abbotsford Flight Centre and at YPK: Altair Aviation.

Thank you for your information....................this is my first time going to BC and in a same time like to check out REGULAR FLIGHT school. Do you know is Kelowna very far from the city? or is this just a small town. I use to live in Seattle.

Kelowna is about 4 hrs drive from Vancouver....east. it's a rapidly growing city of about 100000 (I think). airport is 10 minutes north of kelowna.

Sometimes the best schools are often "smaller" schools located outside major cities.

Here is a list of some schools in BC:
