More than 1,000 girls from across the region landed at London International Airport on June 2 to learn about careers in the aviation industry, discovering the sky's not the limit, but a runway to opportunities.
The third annual Girls in Aviation Day (GIAD), organized by the Great Lakes Aviators Canada Chapter of Women in Aviation International and London International Airport, drew participants from five different school boards.
Student volunteers from Western helped introduce young women to the possibilities open to them in the field, providing unique experiential learning opportunities and emphasizing the university's commitment to building skills for success outside the classroom.
