For Special Olympics BC staff, volunteers, and athletes, the cost of flying to an event or function can be a real barrier. Fortunately, Pacific Coastal Airlines helps SOBC bring athletes and communities together from across the province to share their love of sport.

Throughout the year, Pacific Coastal Airlines provides air travel for SOBC athletes, coaches, and volunteers to attend events all over B.C. Recently they have helped many athletes get to Regional Qualifiers, providing an important opportunity for athletes to compete at these events and have the chance to represent their Region at next year’s 2019 Special Olympics BC Winter Games in Greater Vernon.

Quentin Smith, President and CEO of Pacific Coastal Airlines, has supported SOBC for many years. He has attended our fundraising events in person and provided significant support by donating highly valued travel packages as auction items.

SOBC is honoured, proud, and grateful to be supported by Smith and Pacific Coastal Airlines.

Pacific Coastal Airlines was founded nearly 40 years ago and provides regular schedule, charter, and cargo services to 65-plus destinations in B.C. Make sure to check out their schedule at www.pacificcoastal.com if you’re flying to a community they serve.
