NAV CANADA on CBC News Now

Ian Hanomansing, news anchor for CBC News Now, will be on location at the Vancouver ACC on Wednesday, October 8.

This is a rare media event that will give Canadian viewers a glimpse of what our employees do every day to keep our skies safe. A number of interviews and demonstrations with controllers will be featured throughout the show. There will also be a segment from the YVR Tower with Johanna Wagstaffe, CBC meteorologist and science reporter.

But there's hockey!!!!

I wonder if they'll restrict the viewers to just those people who pay NavCanada the most money, like they do with Class C airspace over the water.

Can anyone post a link to the newscast? I can't seem to find it on the CBC news website.

It was on the CBC news network not the normal CBC. They showed a clip on the national but it was on for the hour before and the hour after the national on and off.

It was an hour long segment. Unfortunately I don't see it listed on the CBC video player.

Were you one of the people interviewed, TA/RA?

Very interesting, and looks like a great bunch of people to work with. Hopefully it will encourage more applicants to apply, so we can stop this ridiculous class C NOTAM from appearing almost every sunny day.

No I wasn't there but I thought it was really well done!

Here is a link for the other 2 segments on the CBC news network. As the comment on the video says, part 1 and 2 are fairly repetitive.

Looks like they had the lights on the floor at full bright for the shoot...strange to see it so bright at an acc.

That is the permanent light setting.

I quite enjoyed the use of the song "Danger Zone". Somebody at the CBC had a good laugh with that one...
