Providing an innovative platform for women and the next generation of leaders to thrive and succeed through aviation.
About us
Elevate Aviation is a non-profit organization founded in 2015 in Edmonton, Alberta. Now, with programs all across Canada, we are creating a shift in the aviation industry. After conducting significant research from a variety of demographics from coast to coast, we learned that the largest barrier to female entry into aviation was simply lack of awareness. How can something so simple have caused the massive gender gap in aviation? This gap not only denies women options for economic security, but it has also been identified as a cause of the looming industry wide shortage Canada is facing. So, what are we doing about it? We introduce women to the incredible careers in the aviation industry through tours, speaking engagements, and events; we immerse boys and girls (middle and high school aged) into week long aviation experiences through our Elevate Aviation Learning Centre; we connect women already in the industry through mentorship and a network of support; and we work with ALL of Canada’s leaders in aviation to promote their companies, unique careers, and the industry as a whole. Each and every one of our programs are targeted at moving the needle in the industry. Our Mission: Elevate Aviation provides a platform for women to thrive and succeed through aviation. Our Vision: To be a primary provider of aviation career support, working alongside industry professionals to promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace. Our Values: Community – Encompassing all aspects of aviation to work together to create change Diversity – Collaborating with individuals and companies to increase diversity in the aviation industry Support – Creating a setting for inspiration, education and success Inclusion – Striving to create an environment of belonging and acceptance Empowerment – Instilling confidence to reach one’s full potential

Na última terça-feira, tive a honra de integrar o grupo de painelistas do evento Only Up, organizado pela ANAC - Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil em Brasília. Foi emocionante integrar esse painel ao lado de mulheres com carreira de peso na aviação. Escutar as suas histórias e aprendizados foi uma inspiração sem igual! No debate, pude compartilhar minhas história até a engenharia aeroespacial. Fiquei extremamente feliz em representar meu canal Quebrando a Inércia e contar um pouco de como procuro incentivar a nova geração de meninas aviadoras pelas redes sociais. Após o painel, tivemos a exibição do documentário Only Up, produzido pela Elevate Aviation, ao lado da Kendra Kincade, fundadora e CEO da Elevate. O documentário conta histórias de mulheres corajosas que decidiram quebrar barreiras e conquistar seu espaço na aviação canadense. Vocês vão amar! Foi um prazer conhecê-las, Kendra Kincade, Cassandra Hepp, Major-Brigadeiro Carla Lyrio, Carla ANTLOGA e Fernanda Polesca Soares. Muito obrigada Ana Benevides e Ana Motta pelo convite. O debate ficou registrado no canal da ANAC no YouTube: https://lnkd.in/dyGd6Mkk ______________ ENG | Last Tuesday, I had the honour of being one of the panelists at the Only Up event, organized by ANAC - the National Civil Aviation Agency in Brasilia. It was exciting to be part of this panel alongside women with incredible careers in aviation. Listening to their stories and lessons was an inspiration like no other! In the debate, I was able to share my journey up to aerospace engineering. I was extremely happy to represent my channel Quebrando a Inertia (Breaking the Inertia) and share about how I try to encourage the new generation of female aviators on social media. After the panel, we had a screening of the documentary Only Up, produced by Elevate Aviation, alongside Kendra Kincade, founder and CEO of Elevate. The documentary tells the stories of courageous women who decided to break barriers and conquer their space in Canadian aviation. You'll love it! It was a pleasure to meet you, Kendra Kincade, Cassandra Hepp, Major-Brigadier Carla Lyrio, Carla ANTLOGA and Fernanda Polesca Soares. Thank you Ana Benevides and Ana Motta for inviting me.

[4/8] Meet Your 2024 Elevate Aviation - Women Of Inspire Clare Li - Manager, Customer Accessibility, Air Canada (Montreal, QC) From the moment Clare was born, airplanes were a natural part of her life, thanks to her father's deep passion for aviation. Both her visible and invisible disabilities, acquired at a young age, also played a significant role in shaping the person she would become. Clare’s remarkable career spanned multiple industries, but it was 10 years ago that she found her true calling in aviation, never looking back. As she began her career in procurement, she had profound personal experiences starting with a hip surgery and then a breast cancer diagnosis, which set her desire to pioneer and champion sustainable procurement. She found the rhythm to do this, build her team, manage cancer treatments, and continue to hone her skills outside of work advocating for diversity, equity, and inclusion. In 2021 Clare was diagnosed with stage 4, with the recurrence of metastatic breast cancer, and then in 2023 would go on to complete Canada’s first CBSR Sustainable Procurement Fellowship. Clare’s sustainability principles are rooted in elevating people and in 2024, she joined a brand-new Customer Accessibility team to work on initiatives to lessen air travel barriers. Clare is well-positioned to win the hearts and minds to push forward accessible flying. Clare is a member of the leadership team for Disability Without Poverty, a founding member of Asians in Aviation, an employee resource group, a non-dancing member of ILL-Abilities, an international dance crew, and a published author and workshop facilitator on cancer experiences. We are thrilled to invite you to the 2024 Elevate Aviation Inspire Gala on Saturday, October 19th, 2024, at Aurora Jet Partners, Edmonton International Airport. This annual event will celebrate the remarkable achievements of eight exceptional women who have significantly contributed to the aviation industry.

What a week!!! My heart is so full of inspiration and happiness. Our panels in Brasilla, Jose Dos Campos, and Rio were so great. We had a group of young female students who were in maintenance at school, and they loved the documentary #OnlyUp! I also got to speak to many women in different aviation roles throughout the country of Brazil, and I am proud of what they have accomplished here so far. Thank you again to Ana Benevides and her extraordinary team for having us in Brazil. We can't wait to see you all again soon ❤️ Elevate Aviation ANAC - Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil

Durante os dias 10, 11 e 12 de setembro, a Agência Nacional de Aviação Civil (ANAC) exibiu o documentário "Only Up", dirigido e produzido pela controladora de tráfego aéreo canadense Kendra Kincade. As exibições aconteceram em Brasília, São José dos Campos e Rio de Janeiro, reunindo profissionais e entusiastas do setor. Em Brasília, nossa presidente, Fernanda Polesca, participou do evento, onde compartilhou sua inspiradora trajetória na aviação e destacou os principais projetos da Associação das Mulheres Aviadoras do Brasil. A experiência foi extremamente enriquecedora, proporcionando valiosas reflexões sobre o papel das mulheres no setor aéreo. O documentário "Only Up" cativou a todos pela sua profundidade e inspiração, mostrando como a determinação e o esforço são fundamentais para superar desafios. Agradecemos imensamente à ANAC pelo convite. A exibição do documentário faz parte do projeto "Mulheres na Aviação", dentro do programa "Asas para Todos", que busca promover a inclusão e ampliar a participação feminina na aviação.

Did you know that 40% of young students are unaware of careers in aviation? This is further amplified through a lack of understanding by guidance counsellors and educators who act as a key conduit to students. We try to fill this critical gap in ensuring young people have awareness and understanding of the aviation careers available to them that are not currently filled by the school systems. At the Elevate Aviation Learning Centre, we are proud to have programs available for all ages, from kindergarten to career.
