February 11
Please note the addition of the scrollng marquee at the top of the home page of this site.
This will replace the EVENTS section that was removed a couple of months ago.
The scrolling of the marquee can be controlled by simply mousing over the text. This will cause the scroll to stop while moused over.
Let me know if you encouter any problems with the new feature!

Congratulations to Dave Fryer...and Dave Shaw
January 28
On December 20, 2011, Dave Shaw was presented with his instructor (I1) rating. Congrats!
With this promotion to instructor, we have an opening as a mentor.
We at CZEG are pleased to announce the promotion of Dave Fryer to the position of MENTOR. Dave is a huge presence within the Edmonton FIR and is well deserving of this promotion!
Congratulations Dave and Dave....

Some website changes...
January 15
After looking over some statistics for this website, I have implemented a few changes.
The old "...from the FIR Chief" and "...from the FIR Chief Instructor" items in the top left of the pages on this site never seemed to change, and were never clicked by visitors. I have done away with those items for now, and the related pages, as they never got any hits. I have moved the clocks up to that location on the pages.
The EVENTS calendars were also never visited. I know, we haven't had an event in a long time, and that would likely be the reason! I will replace these pages when we start having events again. For now, I have replaced these with a METAR section. The METARS section always shows CYYC Calgary weather by default. You can LOOKUP another METAR by simply entering the ICAO for the desired airport.
Please send me any feedback or questions you may have on these changes to webmaster[at]edmontonfir.ca (replace the [at] with @ in your email).
