About us
We are a registered Charity that gives people with disabilities the chance to experience the freedom of sailplane flying or soaring at no cost to them. We established our first chapter in 2003 to provide Inspiration Flights to persons with disabilities and to provide flight training to those who are able. Freedoms’ Wings is a strategic alliance between a gliding club, a registered charity and groups of people with disabilities. Currently we are based at Toronto Soaring, near Conn, Ontario, 1.5 hours from north west of Toronto.
