Local club had their only aero airplane pranged up, and the rumour mill says its not coming back.

Where in Canada can you get a full aerobatic rating?

Harv's Air in Manitoba... Either Citabria or Pitts Special

There is no such things as an "aerobatic rating", at least
not in Canada or the USA. You could I suppose get your
class 2 aerobatic instructor rating, but that's probably not
quite what you were thinking of.

In Canada, a class 1 or 2 aerobatic instructor (and there
aren't very many of them) can certify in your logbook
as to your competency to perform various maneuvers
in your logbook, as per CAR 401.92:

401.92 The holder of a Class 2 flight instructor rating - aeroplane - aerobatic may

(b) certify a licensed pilot's personal log with respect to competency to perform aerobatic manoeuvres.

Frankly, there are very few people in Canada competent to teach aerobatics, and even fewer 2 seat aerobatic aircraft. Given the short season and the incredible, persistent hostility of Transport towards aerobatics, I really think that heading south of the border is your best answer for aerobatic training. If you're on the east coast, try Rob Holland's Aerial Advantage school in NH. If you're on the west coast, there are plenty of schools in California, both Norcal (Attitude Aviation in SJC, Sean Tucker's school south of that) and Socal.

The company I work with has world class aerobatic training avaliable.

It is very expensive but you will learn from some of the top aerobatic instructors in the world.

The Pitts S2B was around 225 Euro per hour dual.

Hey Cat I thought TC wouldn't let you train using your 150 tail dragger? Did something change?

I was going to suggest that you talk to Hedley, but he seems to be putting himself out of the running..

Sorry, don't mean to be negative, but I'm getting a little tired of Transport's campaign.

Next person that buys a single-seat Pitts and comes to me asking for type-specific instruction, I will tell them that Transport strenuously wants them to teach themselves, and if they wreck their aircraft during landing, or kill themselves spinning it in, well, that's just another notch in Transport's belt.
