President's Message


Greetings from the 2005 CIAS President, Richard H. Cooper

For most of us, the harsh realities… the tragic consequence of war are only a memory.  But the passage of time makes it even more important to remember, and to recognize the contribution and the sacrifice made by so many.  2005 is an important time to reflect on this because this year marks the 60th anniversary of the end of the Second World War. The Honourable Albina Guarnieri, Minister of Veterans Affairs, has declared 2005 the Year of the Veteran…. And the CIAS has decided to dedicate this years show to all Veterans, and their immense contribution to our way of life.

We started preparation for the 2005 Airshow last December.  Our plans are firming up nicely and we have some exciting aircraft that will be participating in the show. The Toronto waterfront venue has an established reputation throughout the circuit as truly unique.

The show only exists because of the backing of our Sponsors. It takes a huge financial commitment to stage a show of this size… and feature, year after year, the best aviation performers, with an unfailing commitment to safety.

Volunteers are the other half of our recipe for success, with over one hundred and fifty people volunteering their time, and in many cases, financial support.  The result is that Toronto’s Canadian International Airshow enjoys a reputation second to none in the industry.  We welcome all the enthusiasts and visitors to the 2005 CIAS…. and if you see someone in a red CIAS shirt… tell them how much you appreciate their efforts.

I look forward to seeing you all at the show.

Richard H. Cooper
President, Canadian International Air Show
