The glider (C-GCSB) was on a local VFR flight from the Hawkesbury Aerodrome (CNV4) operated by the Montréal Soaring Council. The solo student pilot misjudged the wind and the glider landed short of runway 27. One of the glider's wings hit a fence post, damaging the leading edge (which was bent to the main wing spar). The glider was removed to a hangar for repair.
