The Sky’s No Limit – Girls Fly Too! 2022/3

The world’s largest diversity outreach event to inspire female future leaders from shop floor to top floor in Aviation, Aerospace, Marine & Defence, as well as other high-tech STEM fields. This year we’re celebrating a decade of incredible events!Everyone is welcome regardless of age, gender or citizenship and the event is entirely free to prevent barriers to participation – no registration is required.
Supporting agency and industry partners bring personnel, vessels, vehicles, aircraft and other hands-on equipment and displays to showcase the various aspects of their activities and inspire participants widely diverse in age, gender and culture. We encourage crews diverse in age, gender and culture – everyone is welcome! All display partners are encouraged to “out-cool” the others, and we have plenty of real estate to offer those that would like to get creative with hands-on scenarios/role play with gear and equipment to engage participants. You’ll enjoy meeting members from the Canadian and U.S. Military, RCMP, CBSA, Canadian & U.S. Coast Guard, and many other agency/industry partners from Aviation, Aerospace, Marine & Defence who annually support us with several billion dollars of combined assets to inspire thousands from Canada, the U.S. and beyond over the two-day, completely free event.
Why is this event important? In both Canada and the United States, only 6% of the professional pilot population are women – a statistic largely unchanged in the last 25 years. In Canada, only 2.3% of licensed Aircraft Maintenance Engineers are women. In the Canadian Armed Forces, women account for only 4% of the technical trades and less than 3% of the top command positions. Worldwide, women account for only 1.28% of the global seafarer force.
