The Cup is named in honour of Roderick William “Bill” Slaughter (1939–2013). Slaughter was a pilot, civil servant, and a lifelong champion of flight safety and SAR in Canada. Born in Winnipeg, Bill served as a jet pilot, lead soloist for the Golden Centennaires, and later as Brigadier General in the RCAF. He went on to lead national flight safety initiatives at Transport Canada and retired as Executive Director of the National Search and Rescue Secretariat in 2001.
