I'm a former president of the APBQ (bush pilot association in Quebec). I'm now concentrating my efforts to help the new generation of pilots to build time, get their PPL and get hired in Aviation. 

We started a one week flying summer camp formula for teenagers aged between 12 and 17 years old. If anybody wants to do the same in the West or anywhere else, I'm open to share the info and help you guys.

We will also organize an Aviation Pin-up Photo shoot in July 2018, in order to make a calendar and support a new Foundation that will support the new generation of pilots to come.

We also started a new Flying club (Time sharing - block time) here in Joliette. We call that the Communaut'Air Project. We now run a Cessna 150, a 172 and 210. Anybody who need help to start such a thing is welcome to contact us.

I have a friend who used to work for the air force and he was a really skilled aircraft mechanic like you. He does not always have a chance to spend time with planes but after he retired he just kept himself busy fixing electronic appliances and sound equipment. He says there is a similarity with the ones he used to repair. I didn't know amplifiers and airplanes have a lot in common. I can't seem to see how that happened so I am thinking about signing up in some electronics course so I can understand how these things work.
