AutismBC Goes to Autism Aviation Day at YYJ

April 29 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm

AutismBC and Canucks Autism Network (CAN) are proud to partner with Victoria International Airport (YYJ), Air Canada & Air Canada Foundation to deliver Autism Aviation Day for individuals on the autism spectrum and their family members.

 

AutismBC Goes to YYJ Autism Aviation Day is an opportunity to practice the airport experience, decrease anxiety associated with air travel, and to build confidence for future travel success.

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.

Who: This event is open to all individuals on the autism spectrum and their family members

When: Saturday, April 29th, 2023

Time: 9:30am-2:30pm

Where: Victoria International Airport Location: 1640 Electra Blvd, Sidney, BC V8L 5V4

Registration: Apply to attend! Sign up is open until Sun, Apr 9th

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 13th***

 

The event builds on the success of previous “airport accessibility tours” CAN has hosted in partnership with Vancouver International Airport (YVR) and Kelowna International Airport (YLW).
