“Amazing program and people.. changed my son’s life.. opened his eyes to the real possibilities out there for him..
Thank you Alanna.. Ken.. Josh.. Ashley and all the others involved in bringing a brighter horizon to the inaugural class..”
“I thought this was a really cool opportunity and a good experience.”
“I liked that we were able to practice in the airborne program the things we learned about in ground school, and understand what we learned to a better degree.“
“I liked the learning aspect, learning what things to do. They weren’t as hard as I thought they would be.”
When asked what their favourite material was, one 17yr old student responded ‘All of it!”
“This program was more than I’d hoped or expected. I didn’t think I would get as much time in the air, but we flew every day. I liked planning and flying my three-hour cross country trip back home, that was awesome,” an 18 year old participant from Canupawakpa First Nation.
