The KF Centre for Excellence was proud to host Elevate Aviation for a dynamic day of connection, learning, and empowerment. Elevate Aviation’s Cross Country Tour made a stop in Kelowna, bringing together industry leaders, aviation enthusiasts, and curious learners of all ages to explore exciting career paths in aviation and aerospace.

This national initiative aims to promote gender balance and inclusivity in aviation, with a special focus on empowering women and underrepresented groups to soar to new heights. Through interactive exhibits, mentorship, and firsthand stories from industry professionals, attendees discovered the many rewarding opportunities the aviation world has to offer.

The event featured engaging speakers and hands-on experiences designed to inspire both student and career seekers. Participants connected with pilots, engineers, aircraft maintenance technicians, and aviation support professionals, gaining valuable insights into how they can launch their own journey in this exciting field.

Hosting Elevate Aviation aligns closely with the Centre’s mission to showcase Canada’s rich aviation heritage while fostering future growth and innovation in the industry. As an interactive hub for education and exploration, the Centre is proud to support initiatives that open doors for the next generation of aviation professionals.

We look forward to welcoming Elevate Aviation back in the future and continuing to inspire the community to reach new heights.
