TEric 0 #1 September 10, 2004 I'll be spending the next 2 months in Ottawa, working on the temp seating for the 2004 Grey Cup, and want to avoid travelling back and forth to Toronto every weekend. Are there any DZ's close to the nations' capital. I am considering Gananoque, about an hour west, is there anything closer? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Remster 30 #2 September 10, 2004 Alexandria is closer I think (Cesna). Some pleple from Hull also make the drive to Nouvel Air, soutrh of Montreal. When will you be around? Isnt the Grey CUp in freaking winter???? MOst dzs will be shut down as far as regular jumps, with only the odd winter jumps.Remster Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Danger 0 #3 September 10, 2004 There is also Mile High Parachuting in Arnprior. The following is a description from CSPA's website "Mile High Parachuting is located 40 minutes west of Ottawa at the South Renfrew Municipal Airport in Arnprior, Ontario. The regular season is from the first week in April to the last weekend in October. The Dropzone is located only minutes from the town of Arnprior and has all the amenities for visiting jumpers and their families" Contact Buck Walley at milehighparachuting@yahoo.ca Danger Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JRock 0 #6 September 16, 2004 Ok, I am a retard... I was like.... this person can't find a DZ in Ottawa, IL? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riggerrob 643 #7 September 16, 2004 The DZ in Gatineau moved to Alexandria: 60 or 90 minutes South East of Ottawa. The DZO reports that they are doing a booming business with tandems, so their two Cessnas will be going up and down like ..... Sorry, but the CSPA has not updated their address, try calling the CSPA office, just outside Ottawa. Please report back to us about which Ottawa-area DZ you preferred and why.
