The primary objective of the CAAA is to promote safety and professionalism amongst its participating members. The CAAA works with federal and provincial government agencies to design policies that are fair and equitable and, above all, that protect both rural customers and urban dwellers. The CAAA advises regulatory agencies on matters pertaining to the safe and efficient aerial application of pesticides and other crop inputs.
Transport Canada Program Validation Inspection
Prior to Transport Canada announcing your next PVI, Members are encouraged to read document SUR 001, CAR 702 & 706, do an internal audit, which should be part of your Quality Assurance Program (CAR 706.07), verify you Operating Certificate, to see if it reflects your actual operation (CAR 702.07), review your manuals for compliance (CAR 702.82, 706.08), check if your maintenance schedules are up to date (CAR 706.07) and make sure all of your paperwork is in order. The more you prepare for this, the easier it will be!

2011 Calibration and Patternization (CAP) Clinic
We are pleased to announce that Dennis Gardisser will return as Analyst for the 2011 CAAA clinics. The clinics are tentatively scheduled to take place May 16 – 30, 2011, starting in Taber (Alberta) then proceeding to Yorkton (Saskatchewan) and Altona (Manitoba).
Additional locations in each province may be added. If you are unable to attend the above mentioned clinics it may be possible to hold a clinic at your location.
A calibration clinic is mandatory for qualification to apply certain products and for participation in the Prairie Protective Fund and Wild Rose Protective Fund. Currently, one of the required steps for qualification to apply Roundup/Vantage/Touchdown in 2011 is a Certificate of Completion from a 2011 or 2010 calibration clinic.
