UPDATE: Aviation Incident Report #17007: The student pilot of a BP Aviation Ltd. Cessna 172M (C-GHBM) from Penticton, BC (CYYF) to Penticton, BC (CYYF) was conducting a touch-and-go on Runway 34 and experienced a runway excursion. They had touched down approximately 1000 feet from the threshold of Runway 34 and were on their take-off roll. As they increased the aircrafts power, they felt the aircraft pulling to the left, and when they deployed the full right rudder, it pulled to the left and they were unable to stay on the runway surface. They immediately reduced power and left the runway surface and traversed the grass surface approximately 248 meters in a northwest (NW) direction. The aircraft came to a complete stop on the west side of Runway 34, approximately 100 meters perpendicular from the runway edge. There was no damage to the aircraft and the pilot did not sustain injuries. A BP Aviation flight instructor completed an initial inspection of the aircraft and determined there was no damage, so the aircraft taxied to the flying school for further inspection. The airport operator completed a runway surface condition inspection at 1959Z, and the surface was deemed to be bare and dry, however, there was some minor foreign object debris (FOD) on the surface. Runway sweeping operations were carried out to remove the FOD. No impact to airport operations.

The Joint Rescue Coordination Centre (JRCC) Trenton advised of a light float plane accident north of Orillia, ON. The aircraft involved was identified as a privately registered, amateur-built Bushcaddy R80.
UPDATE: TSB Report #A21O0072: A privately registered Bushcaddy R80 float plane was conducting local flights from the Orillia/Lake St John Seaplane Base, ON (CNV6). After landing in a sheltered bay, the pilot taxied the aircraft into the main part of the lake to conduct a takeoff into the wind. After applying power, and with the aircraft on the step, the pilot raised the right float, a technique used to facilitate a shorter takeoff run. As the right float came out of the water, the pilot lost directional control and the aircraft turned abruptly to the left, where the left wing struck the water as the pilot brought the throttle to idle. As the aircraft returned to a level attitude, the right float impacted the water and became detached from the aircraft.
