Elevate Aviation

Purpose

This 43-month project will work with industry partners to develop an action plan to establish and implement strategies for improving women's economic security through access to careers in the aviation industry across Canada. After identifying and analyzing systemic barriers, the project will implement solutions to create an industry shift that will provide economically viable and progressive careers for diverse groups of women. Supplemental funds will be used for to improve upon current practices in the industry and allow activities to pivot and ramp back up after the aviation industry essentially stalled due to the pandemic. The additional funds are for salaries, honoraria and professional fees and some publicity and promotion.
