If you have ever talked to Vancouver Centre, Vancouver Terminal or Victoria Terminal then you have talked to controllers inside the Vancouver ACC. The ACC is also the centre of all ATC training and technical operations for the Pacific Region. We are also in the process of arranging tours of the towers at YVR, YYJ, ZBB & YXX.

What:
The tour will start with a short presentation about Nav Canada and an explanation of the local airspace. There will be an opportunity for pilots to ask all their ATC/Airspace related questions.  We will then tour the building including the simulators and the operations floor where all the magic happens.
