Pathways to Flight spent Day 5 at @CWHM, having the incredible opportunity to fly onboard the Noorduyn Norseman-a transport plane built in 1950. We had a blast in the sims, meeting pilots & exploring the rich history of military aviation. Thx to all! @copsandkidsca@danos1978prp
Pathways to Flight’s 4th leg led us to 8 Wing Trenton, where we explored military aviation, getting up close with the impressive C-130 Hercules, pilots, SAR Techs & and other experts within the @RCAF_ARC. Many thx to everyone who made this possible! @COPSandKIDSca@danos1978prp
Pathways to Flight's midweek adventures in the sky! Thx to @OPP_CR and @yrp for today's unforgettable experiences with helicopters! We learned about this type of aviation, teamwork & the vital role these choppers play in keeping our communities safe. @copsandkidsca@danos1978prp
Pathways to Flight's Day 2 - Youth took the controls in a flight simulator at @flairairlines & learned more about becoming pilots. We also visited air traffic control with @navcanada, including a tour of the control tower. Many thx to all involved! @COPSandKIDSca@danos1978prp

So proud of our youth who rappelled 34-stories down the Westin Harbour Castle hotel in Toronto earlier this month, in the Over The Edge fundraising event! This required bravery, courage, & trust, & was not an easy task. Great job!

Using #StoryXperiential outside a school context is always an interesting undertaking as some tailoring is required to make sure participants get the most out of it. @peelregionalpolice, with sponsorship from @COPSandKIDSca, made it a full experience for the teens in their community outreach program: #CreateYourStory.
Learn more about how Detective #GlenMorash went about gaining approval, getting sponsorship, planning for every eventuality and giving the #Peel community teens the creative experience of learning visual storytelling from #animation pros.

Our Rappel to Win program participants had the unique opportunity to practice rappelling with some of our tactical officers, in preparation for the upcoming #OverTheEdge fundraising event in June. A great start to overcoming fears and implementing growth mindsets! @copsandkidsca
ProAction's "Over the Edge" rappelling experience is fast approaching, and we are looking for Rope Volunteers and Event Volunteers!
