On August 20, Kathy Fox left the TSB for a well-deserved retirement. Ms. Fox had been with the TSB since 2014. On behalf of all the members of Aviateurs.Québec, we would like to thank her for her services to the promotion of safety in general aviation. We wish her a happy retirement.

Mr. Yoan Marier has taken over as Chair of the TSB. Mr. Marier joined the TSB as a Board Member in 2020, bringing many years of experience in federally regulated transportation and regulatory compliance. In his new role, he will continue the organization’s mission: to advance transportation safety in Canada.
