Great Lakes Gliding Club (GLGC) is a soaring club located at Tottenham/Ronan Aerodrome, 56.9 km northwest of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.[1]
Great Lakes Gliding provided facilities and pilot training for construction and testing of the UTIAS Snowbird, the first human-powered ornithopter to sustain straight and level flight, now undergoing record certification by the Fédération Aéronautique Internationale (FAI).[2]
GLGC operates on a not-for-profit basis,[3] and flight instruction is provided for free by volunteer instructors.[4]
In common with other Canadian gliding clubs, it is a member of the Soaring Association of Canada.
