Important

​

This is a tightly restricted airspace.  Please refer to the CYA Operating procedures before flying here.

​

Hang Gliding:

​

Island Soaring Society maintains a tenure at the summit of Bruce Peak.  The Hang Glider ramp here has been in use at this location for than 40 years.​

​

Burgoyne Bay Provincial Park is the only approved option for landing.

​

This site is in tightly restricted airspace as it is very close to Victoria International Airport.  Please contact local pilots to learn how to active this space for free-flight.

​

Paragliding

​

There are no legitimate paraglider launches on Salt Spring Island

​

Many land owners in the valley are openly opposed to paraglider pilots landing in their farms.  Vancouver Island Paragliding has arranged limited access to a single landing field.   If you have not obtained permission to launch a paraglider from Bruce peak then you are trespassing.

 

Launching from Mount Maxwell is prohibited as it is in a park.

​

Commercial activity is not permitted at the Bruce Peak tenure.  If you you are tandem pilot or school you should make your own own arrangements with the land owner.
