The Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre hosted the Girls Can Fly event at the Region of Waterloo International Airport in Breslau, Ont., on May 23, 2026, aiming to inspire the next generation of female aviators. The event featured aircraft displays and interactive activities designed to spark interest in aviation among young women.
Empowering Young Women
Girls Can Fly provides a unique opportunity for participants to explore aviation careers, meet professional pilots, and learn about the science of flight. Organizers emphasized the importance of breaking gender barriers in a historically male-dominated field.
Hands-On Experience
Attendees could tour various aircraft, including small planes and helicopters, and engage with flight simulators. The event also included workshops on navigation, weather, and aircraft maintenance.
The Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre, known for its pilot training programs, hopes to encourage more young women to consider careers as pilots, engineers, and air traffic controllers.
