Tracy Medve, who has held the position of President of Canadian
North for three years, was inducted as an Honorary Life Member with

Honorary Life Memberships have been awarded since 1976 to those
who have contributed significantly to the improvement of the
Association and the Canadian air transport industry. Individuals
are nominated by members of ATAC and are then presented to the
Board for a vote on their contribution to the industry. Recipients
have included high-profile Canadian aviation giants such as Max
Ward (President of former Wardair), and Rhys Eyton (Chairman &
CEO of former Canadian Airlines).
"We are honoured and proud to have Tracy as an Honorary Life
Member," affirms ATAC's President, John McKenna. "This award is
warranted due to her hard work and commitment to the aviation
industry as well as to this association."
Since 1985, Tracy has held various senior airline management
positions at Norcanair, Time Air, Canadian Partner and Canadian
Regional Airlines. Prior to joining Canadian North, Tracy was the
co-founder of C.T. AeroProjects, a Calgary based consultancy
focused on air transport resource management. Tracy is not only a
member of the Air Transport Association of Canada Board, but also
of the Northern Air Transport Association Board and the University
of British Columbia, Okanagan External Advisory Board. She is also
a past member of the Transportation Appeal Tribunal of Canada.
"I'm very pleased to receive this honor," states Ms. Medve. "The
aviation industry is a passion of mine, so being inducted as an
Honorary Life Member of an important aviation industry association
like ATAC holds special importance for me."
Other Canadian North employees participate in the Air Transport
Association of Canada, including Laval St. Germain, the first
Canadian to scale Mount Everest without oxygen.
