TO describe VES as the new kids on the block in the Alberta Skydiving Scene is a fair statement, this will be our 4th year here in Alberta. To say that out Chief Instructor is over qualified is also fair to say. With every Skydiving Instructors rating available and over twenty years experience managing skydiving schools he is EXTREMELY good at his job. As a member in good standing of the Canadian Sport Parachuting Association since 1981 he has served eight years as a director (1989- 1997). Mr. Hutchinson has until recently worked with the Coach's Working Committee for CSPA guiding the development of student training programs across Canada.
