Our program strives to improve the quality of life of persons with disabilities by providing a physically and intellectually exciting and challenging introduction to flight.

The purpose of Freedom’s Wings Canada is to bring the world of soaring to disabled persons by:

* Exposing persons with disabilities to the soaring experience

* Teaching qualified persons with disabilities to soar

* Providing facilities for soaring to those persons with disabilities able to soar

* Providing training for instructors, ground crew, and flying students

* Providing a non-profit educational and fraternal organization

* Serving as a resource and model for other organizations with similar intent

About YOUTH FLIGHT CANADA EDUCATION FUND
