Youth Glide
Youth Glide Canterbury (YGC) is incorporated within the Canterbury Gliding Club. We believe that an early access to flight training provides an exciting opportunity to youth and can open doors to challenging aviation careers not available to the same extend anywhere else and bring in new members to the sport of gliding.
