About Us

Making a difference to children with special needs in Southern Alberta!

Dreams Take Flight stretches children’s minds. As poet Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, “One’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.”

Dreams Take Flight is a registered national non-profit charity dedicated to providing the trip-of-a-lifetime to medically, mentally, physically, socially or emotionally challenged children in Canada.

Dreams Take Flight Calgary has been taking deserving children with special needs from Southern Alberta to Disneyland since 1993. In this our 30th year we are taking the children to Universal Studios Hollywood.

We raise our funding through corporate and private donations, charity golf tournaments and an annual auction event. We are a 100% volunteer charity with volunteers handling fundraising, flight planning, administration and governance. Air Canada donates the aircraft, but the ground crew, flight crew and other services required for the flight are volunteers. Our amazing medical team are volunteers as well!

With your support we can bring some magic to some very deserving Southern Alberta children and make their dreams come true.

For a very long and exciting day, deserving children will live an adventure in California at Universal Studios Hollywood, with all expenses paid—thanks to sponsors and volunteers.

When they land back home, their minds are stretched to new dimensions. They see new possibilities.
