Description
Located at an elevation of 927 meters with a height difference of 710 meters, this paragliding site is rarely used. It offers opportunities for both soaring and thermalling flights.
For more information or to get in touch with the British Columbia Paragliding and Hang Gliding Association, visit: [BCHPA Contact](http://www.bchpa.ca/contact-us.html).
The local club, Island Soaring, provides additional details and updates. Check them out at: [Island Soaring](https://www.islandsoaring.org/).
Important safety notice: Due to increased air traffic and a few close calls in the CYA135 and CYA113 airspaces, it is recommended that one pilot in the group contact the 443 Squadron Flight Operations Centre before and after flying. They often use the old mill site at Youbou for training. Announce your intent to fly via air-band radio on 123.025 MHz and monitor this frequency during your flight. This is not mandatory, but it is crucial for safety as interactions between powered and unpowered aircraft can be dangerous.
Contact the 443 Squadron Flight Ops Centre by phone at 250-363-5443 ext.51081 or by email at W12443-OPS@forces.gc.ca if they have any flights in operation. For more details, visit: [Cowichan Valley Airspace Caution](https://www.islandsoaring.org/post/cowichan-valley-airspace-caution).
