The Art Smith Aviation Academy (ASAA) is nestled within the heart of 4 Wing Cold Lake, Canada’s largest fighter base. The roar of overhead jets provides the perfect inspirational tone for the complete aviation learning experience. The Academy is an 'alternative program school' within Northern Lights School Division. We provide a K to 8 program in both English and French Immersion to all families in the Cold Lake area. The school also takes pride in being able to focus on the specialized needs of military dependants while supporting students of the area surrounding 4 Wing Cold Lake. Members of the Canadian Forces and the Department of National Defence lend a collective hand to the aviation program of the ASAA. As positive role models for the students who attend the academy, the aviators and support members of the defence team provide the benefit of their experience, training and knowledge to ASAA’s students.

The program was first launched in October of 2011 and to date Agnico Eagle has invested more than $500,000 towards funding the program along with donating safety equipment and providing experts to support the initiative.'This community-based training program continues to be successful,' said Keith Collier, the Hamlet of Arviat's Community Economic Development Officer. 'With this class, we now have over 40 people trained as Surface Diamond Driller's Helpers. As the owners of the only operating mine in the Kivalliq Region, Agnico Eagle's commitment to training and employment in Arviat is crucial to the economic and social development of our community.'The Hamlet of Arviat has brought together a range of partners – such as government training agencies, drilling companies and colleges – to acquire the drilling equipment, develop the curriculum and operate the program.
