[SPECIAL] The Sky's No Limit - Women in Aviation

NOW and NEXT

Join us for Part 3 of our Special Series this week - Pathway to the Stars.
Over the course of November 7th-November 10th, 2022, we are exploring four stories of Canadian aviation innovation and history in partnership with the Royal Canadian Air Force Foundation.
Today, we turn our storytelling lens on Women in Aviation.
Brianna Ricketts holds Canada’s record for youngest solo flight by a female pilot. But did you know, 30% of Canada’s 2700 Air Cadets are women? We explore the contributions and continuing story of Canada’s young women pilots who are shaping the future of Canada’s aviation industry.
We also learn about the great work being done by the Northern Lights Aero Foundation and the Elsie Awards; Elsie McGill was the subject of an Historica Canada Heritage Minute; Elevate Aviation supports a wide range of disciplines in the aviation industry and their Inspire Awards; and Vi Milstead holds the distinction of being Canada's first female bush pilot.
