Sundog Powerchutes Inc was a Canadian aircraft manufacturer based in Sparwood, British Columbia and later in Pierceland, Saskatchewan. The company specialized in the design and manufacture of powered parachutes in the form of ready-to-fly aircraft for the Canadian Basic Ultra-Light Aeroplane category and which also fit the European Fédération Aéronautique Internationale microlight category.[1]

The company seems to have been founded about 2002 and gone out of business in 2014.[2]

The company built two models of powered parachute, the Two-Seater and One-Seater, both similar designs made from 6061-T6 aluminium tubing. In reviewing the aircraft in 2003 Jean-Pierre le Camus described their design as having, "a lot of character".[1]
