A Gulf Island Seaplanes float-equipped DHC-2 was conducting a training flight from Vancouver Harbour Aerodrome (CYHC), BC, with 1 pilot on board. The aircraft took off from CYHC and flew a short training circuit, returning for a westbound approach. A gust caused the left wing to lift, causing the right wingtip to impact the water. This caused an oscillation that led to the left wingtip, left float tip, and propeller to contact the water. The aircraft came to a stop in an upright position and was subsequently towed to the dock. The aircraft was removed from service to assess the damage. There were no injuries.
