Second World War pilot donates $2.4-million to Mount Royal aviation program A Second World War pilot and local businessman has made a multi-million dollar donation to Mount Royal's aviation program.

MRU Aviation extends a tremendous thank you to Ken Lett for his support to our program and opening doors to the future for our students.

"Aviation has been my life. I just love flying,” Lett says. “My heart is full of joy when I think of helping young people have careers in aviation.”

Lett’s donation to MRU will be used for scholarships and bursaries with a focus on the participation of underrepresented groups, including Indigenous Peoples and women. It will also go towards aircraft, maintenance, technology, MRU’s flight simulator and other infrastructure."
