Bombardier Commercial Aircraft announced today that it will donate a CS100 aircraft to the École Nationale d’Aérotechnique (ÉNA), a school affiliated with Édouard-Montpetit CEGEP, to be used for the purpose of education and training. With this donation, ÉNA becomes the world’s first teaching institution to count a C Series aircraft among its fleet.
“Bombardier plays a leadership role in the Canadian and global aerospace industry by being at the forefront of the development and utilization of disruptive technologies,” said Alain Bellemare, Chief Executive Officer, Bombardier Inc. “Our commitment to innovation and excellence is also reflected in education, as our company encourages and supports our teaching institutions such as ÉNA in their mission to provide the highest quality training that meets the needs of the industry.”
“Bombardier is very proud to invest in the development of highly skilled workers for the Montréal aerospace cluster by increasing the educational value of ÉNA’s technical training activities,” said Robert Dewar, Vice President, C Series Aircraft Program, Bombardier Commercial Aircraft. “The C Series is the most innovative aircraft in its class, with state-of-the-art technology and advanced materials. This donation will contribute to the development of broader sets of skills by allowing students to manipulate the most advanced technology in commercial aircraft, and we hope that this will help spark their interest for aerospace even further.”
The CS100 (Serial Number 50003) was built in 2014, and was the third Flight Test Vehicle (FTV3) of the C Series program. Since its maiden flight on March 3rd of that year, the aircraft accumulated approximately 1,400 flight hours. FTV3 was mainly used for avionics and electrical tests, as well as for community noise testing. The aircraft is currently stationed at the Bombardier Flight Test Centre in Wichita, Kansas and will join ÉNA’s existing fleet of 37 aircraft in Saint-Hubert, Québec in the coming weeks. ÉNA’s static fleet already includes two Learjet and two Challenger aircraft.
“We are honored to receive this extremely significant gift. The C Series is a true jewel of Québec’s technology and this donation is a major educational contribution to our training programs, both from a practical and theory stand point,” said Sylvain Lambert, Director, École Nationale d’Aérotechnique. “As the sole provider of aerospace technical training in the province of Québec, this new addition to our existing fleet will allow the next generation of workers to become more knowledgeable of the industry’s latest technological breakthroughs. On behalf of our students, our teaching faculty, and staff members, I would like to sincerely thank Bombardier for its confidence in our school, and for this gift which will enrich the quality of our training programs.”
Bombardier established many successful partnerships over the years with educational institutions specializing in aerospace and engineering by offering internships, scholarships and corporate donations, as well as participating in research and development projects. Just last year, Bombardier donated a CRJ100 to the British Columbia Institute of Technology, and a Learjet 60 to ÉNA.
The C Series aircraft is manufactured by the C Series Aircraft Limited Partnership, an affiliate of the Bombardier Commercial Aircraft segment of Bombardier Inc. For more information about the C Series visit the Media Hub.

Iran’s gold demand will probably be “strong” for the next few months and then gradually decline as US sanctions start to take effect, according to the researcher who covers the country for Metals Focus Ltd.
After a previous set of sanctions was imposed on Iran in 2012, it took two years for the country’s gold demand to start falling, according to data from the World Gold Council. It sank to only 45.1 t by 2016, the lowest in at least six years and 65 percent lower than in 2013, according to gold council data. It rose to 64.5 t last year.

Saputo Inc. (“Saputo” or the “Company”) (TSX:SAP) is proud to pursue its partnership with Fitspirit, an organization dedicated to encouraging teenage girls to adopt a physically active lifestyle. The Company’s $1,000,000 in funding over four years will support the development of the organization’s initiatives aimed at getting a maximum number of young Canadian girls moving.
Fitspirit is tackling a worrisome issue since one out of every two girls quits sports at puberty, and this trend increases drastically from 12 to 17 years of age. By the end of high school, 9 out of 10 girls fail to meet Canadian exercise guidelines. Thanks to Fitspirit’s efforts, more than 25,000 girls took the initiative to adopt an active and healthy lifestyle in 2017.
Beyond its exercise program, Fitspirit promotes the fun of being active and fosters mutual support, self-esteem, and surpassing one’s limits. “Saputo has supported Fitspirit since the beginning, and it’s inspiring to see the scope of what’s been accomplished over the last 11 years. We are proud to help the Fitspirit movement expand beyond Québec and Ontario,” said Sandy Vassiadis, Vice President, Communications and Corporate Responsibility at Saputo.
Fitspirit is focused on Canada-wide growth, hoping to rally 80,000 teenage girls annually by 2021.
Community engagement is important to Saputo. In this regard, the Company strives to invest 1% of its pre-tax profits each year in community programs and organizations that promote a healthy lifestyle for people of all ages. To learn more, visit www.saputo.com/Our-Promise/Community.

TSX-V-listed metallurgical coal miner Corsa Coal has reported an 89% jump in first-quarter coal sales, helping to lift revenues 54% year-on-year, as strong export shipments and price realisations led to improved financial results.
The Canonsburg, Pennsylvania-based miner said it sold a total of 557 721 t of metallurgical coal in the three months ended March, as it reported strong growth of its sales market share in both the international and domestic markets.
Gold-backed exchange traded funds (ETFs) added 72.2 t to their holdings in April, taking overall holdings to 2 481 t. According to the latest statistics by the World Gold Council, this is the strongest month of net inflows in more than a year.
