On May 7, 2025, four children in our Agency’s care were selected to embark on a magical journey through Air Canada’s Dreams Take Flight program.
Dreams Take Flight is a transformative experience for children who may be facing significant challenges and provides them with an all-expenses-paid trip to a world-renowned theme park in California or Florida.
The program is entirely volunteer driven, with Air Canada donating aircraft and volunteers raising funds to cover all associated costs, including park admission, spending money, and souvenirs.
This year, the four children were also accompanied by one of our dedicated staff members who served as a chaperone.
The flight departed from Toronto Pearson International Airport, marking a day filled with joy, adventure, and cherished memories for all participants.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the teams at Dreams Take Flight and Air Canada for their unwavering commitment to making this event possible. Their generosity has provided these children with an opportunity to experience the world in a way they might not have otherwise.
At York Region CAS, we are honoured to take part in this life-changing program and look forward to nominating more children for next year’s event.
