We continue to make world history as the largest single outreach event of its kind! Over 20,000 participants of all ages from many communities around BC, Washington and beyond are expected. Bring your friends, bring your famiily, and don't forget to bring the guys too!

Our annual events in celebration of the week of International Women’s Day change lives. Girls and women of all ages and their families gather from far and wide for a truly unique mission of discovery. Our events are fun, hands-on and COMPLETELY FREE to ensure there are no barriers to participation. This is thanks to agency, industry and community partners.

The Achieve Anything Foundation defines as girls & women any persons that identify as female, including transgender. This definition applies to any reference of girls, women and/or females.

FREE FLIGHTS!!! One of the unique attractions at our events are the free flights for female first-time fliers. The first flight experience is so incredibly amazing that we just have to share it! It’s often the catalyst that is needed to inspire interest in Aviation, Aerospace, Marine & Defence and other STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) based fields. The opportunities are endless!

IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE FREE FLIGHTS!!! Seats will be released regularly between now and the event (don't ask us when - it's a completely random), and ample seats will be available by onsite raffle at both days of the events. Remember, the free flights are COMPLETELY AWESOME, but they are only a tiny portion of the cool stuff you'll see at this incredible event - come check it out!

ANOTHER IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT THE FREE FLIGHTS!!! This is event is one of our gender diversity outreach initiatives to inspire female future leaders in high tech fields. We have others available too: www.achieveanything.ca If you're not sure why this is needed, please take a few moments to browse through the site and read through all the documentation. The flights are an expensive, and precious gift we use to draw girls and women to check out the rest of the event. The flights are the only part of the event not open to the guys, without exception - please don't ask. We ecnourage the guys to join you and support you as you discover new opportunities, and they will have just as much fun checking out all the other offerings at the event.

Civilian and non-civilian VIPs are on hand to meet with participants and a variety of cool aircraft and equipment is available for all to explore. Hands-on displays and fun activities are provided by industry, agency and education partners for a tactile learning experience.

This completely free event is open to the public, from anywhere in the world, with no registration required to attend. However either advance, or on-site registration is required for eligible females to fly. Stay tuned to this page for more information and event updates.

We’re looking for volunteers! Any gender, age 15 and up - YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! To apply visit www.girlsfly2.ca/volunteer.html Please share!

Meet Wendy Lawrence! From US Navy Helicopter pilot to star-conquering NASA Astronaut, Wendy has some awesome experiences to share

When the Apollo 11 crew landed on the Moon on July 20, 1969, a ten year old Wendy Lawrence watched on a black and white TV from 393,309 km away. That’s when she became an astronaut. From that day, Wendy applied herself heart and soul towards her goal.

After graduation from the US Naval Academy in 1981 she flew helicopters off ships, and was tasked with helicopter combat support and anti-submarine squadrons. Later, Wendy became the first graduate of the US Naval Academy to fly into space, and has flown four space missions including a visit to MIR, the Russian Space Station.

Want free flights? We have lots to give away! Come to the Abbotsford International Airport this weekend, Saturday March 10-11 from 9am to 5:30pm - we have over a thousand free flights that are still available on site!
