Introduction
Timothy Atik ‘Tik’ Mason, the program’s namesake, is an Indigenous pilot at Perimeter Aviation whose experience inspired the Indigenous Pilot Pathway. Tik is also a Juno award-winning musician, playing the bass guitar in Burnt Project 1, Indian City, and Eagle and Hawk. Tik’s aviation career took flight when he received the Bill Wehrle Scholarship from Perimeter and moved to Moncton as a student and then flight instructor at MFC Training. Since completing his training he has returned to Manitoba to serve his home community of St. Theresa Point, operating Perimeter’s Dash 8 aircraft. Tik is excited to contribute to the Pathway as a flight instructor, cultural leader, and mentor to program members. As one of Manitoba’s few commercially licensed Indigenous pilots, his story of passion, resilience, and hard work continues to inspire people to follow in his footsteps.
