About the Author | About the Author: In the 1960s, Dominique Prinet worked as a bush pilot in the Canadian Arctic and High Arctic, at a time when radio beacons were the exception, and long before the GPS systems had been invented. During the winter darkness, navigation was often done with an astro-compass and the Sight Reduction Tables. Dominique holds a BASc from UBC and an MBA from McGill. He served as the Marketing VP for Nordair in Montréal, and later for Canadian Airlines in Vancouver. He taught economics to MBA students at McGill for 12 years, and went on to manage and turnaround Air Tanzania for five years. Dominique is a Power and Sail Instructor, certified for all levels by Sail Canada and by the Sail and Power Academy (ISPA). He is an Instructor-Evaluator for Sail Canada, has taught boating out of Vancouver from 2000 to 2015, and has delivered many Transport Canada courses to professional mariners. Sharing life-long passions for teaching, Dominique and his wife live in Vancouver, BC, where she taught French at UBC until her retirement in 2014. |
