Recognizing the need to raise awareness among girls and women regarding the world of aviation, the Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre, together with industry friends/partners will be hosting its 3rd Annual Women of Aviation Worldwide Event at the Region of Waterloo International Airport. The goal is to introduce girls and women across the region to the world of aviation and its many facets; and we invite you to join us and help spread the word.
Come out and meet two female CF-18 pilots, a rocket scientist, an aircraft maintenance engineer from Porter Airlines, an avionics technician and the director of flight operations from Trans-West Airlines. Hear their stories and meet them in person. Explore different careers in aviation and talk to real people doing those jobs at our hands-on aviation expo.
