What is Autism Aviation Day?
Autism Aviation Day will take attendees through the entire pre-flight process, including check-in, security, finding the gate, waiting, aircraft boarding, simulated take-off and de-planing, in a safe and supportive environment. Following the experience, a reception with snacks and refreshments will be provided.
The event builds on the success of previous “airport accessibility tours” we’ve hosted in partnership with Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Kelowna International Airport (YLW).
Who can attend?
This event is open to all individuals on the autism spectrum and their family members (both non-members and registered CAN members).
Please note there are a limited number of spaces available. Due to the popularity of this event, we anticipate that we will not be able to accommodate everyone who wishes to attend. All applicants will be notified of their enrollment status by Thursday, April 13.
