After several years of having a wonderful private tour access to the Boeing Plant thanks to efforts of Jim Westmacott, unfortunately for 2006 the program will be changing from a private tour to a booked group tour with Boeing. It will still be an interesting tour, and of course the fun of the drive down and the scenic tour to home are all part of the deal.
This year [2006] there will be a cost for the Tour, as we will be taking the Boeing Group tour, not a tour courtesy of an airline as in the past.
Cost for thetour is $22 CDN per person [adults] $20 CDN seniors [65+] and $14 CDN for children under 15 if they meet the height requirements. These rates are based on the $15-$14--$8 US tour fee and a group booking fee and an exchange allownance
