| DESCRIPTION |
International Women's Day and
Women of Aviation Worldwide Week are recognized globally as celebrations of the
advancement of women, and it is our intent to showcase Canada as a world leader
in promoting outstanding Women of Aviation.
Our March 8-9 outreach event at
the Langley Regional Airport in BC will be the largest of its kind in Canadian
history. Over this very special weekend we are expecting well over 5,000 girls
and women from communities around the Lower Mainland to discover aviation, meet
outstanding women of aviation and see first hand the types of aircraft they fly
and maintain. Over 1500 girls and women of all ages will receive the gift of first
flight, courtesy of community businesses.
To be eligible for the free
flight girls and women cannot have flown in a small aircraft before (previous
airline flights are ok)
Our entire event is completely
free, to ensure no barriers to participation.
The Sky's No Limit - Girls Fly
Too! community outreach events, held in honor of Women of Aviation Worldwide
Week (WOAW) and International Women's Day change lives and perceptions. We do
this by first capturing the girls interest and attention with the magical first
flight experience and then once we have this attention, by providing them the
opportunity to discover hands-on, the endless opportunities available to them
in aviation vocations. Basically we provide girls and women an in-depth, inside
look at what's behind the fence and under the hood at the airport in a fun and
participatory way.
Guys welcome too - fun for the
whole family! We encourage everyone to celebrate with us and show your support
for the ladies.
