Our Association
The Western AME Association is one of five similar associations
across Canada, the others being the Atlantic, Ontario, Central and
Pacific associations. These associations represent regional interests as
well as concerns of national importance.
The Canadian Federation of Aircraft Maintenance Engineers Associations (CFAMEA) is a national body which is supported and financed by all the regional associations and which represents the associations at the national level.
The Western AME Association is run by a volunteer group of AMEs who are elected by the member AMEs to the Board of Directors. The membership is comprised of AMEs, non-licensed personnel working in the industry, students and apprentices as well as corporate members.
A separate committee, under the auspices of the association, runs an annual symposium/workshop. This workshop is a two-day event which features speakers on a variety of related topics, as well as an industry
tradeshow with over fifty booths from various companies, suppliers,
manufacturers and other organizations. Attendance at this and our
various other smaller workshops may be counted towards the recurrent
training requirements required by Transport Canada.
