AYPH

Association of Yukon Paragliders and Hang Gliders (AYPH)

The AYPH was founded in January 2001 by a couple of members from Dawson City. Our  volunteer association helps develop and protect sites and projects that support free-flight activities in the Yukon.

The information on this site includes the current membership list as well as meeting minutes.

You can join AYPH in one of 2 ways:

1. by joining the Hang Gliding Paragliding Association of Canada (HPAC) if you live in the Yukon or
2. by paying $15 for an annual membership.
