Our Objective - "Making Magical Memories for Special Kids"The objective of Dreams Take Flight Edmonton is to take children from mentally, physically and socially disadvantaged backgrounds to Disneyland for a day. The Edmonton chapter of Dreams Take Flight provides this opportunity to children from as far south as Red Deer and as far north as Yellowknife. Mission StatementDreams Take Flight is a national volunteer charitable organization dedicated to providing a trip of a lifetime to physically, mentally or socially challenged children. With the aid of Air Canada, and other national and local organizations and businesses, money is raised to make the dreams a reality in Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Toronto, Montreal, Ottawa and Halifax. Funds not required for its primary purpose can be gifted by Dreams Take Flight to other registered charities that benefit physically, mentally or socially challenged children and are within the policies adopted by Dreams Take Flight Canada. 18 Years of Magical MemoriesThe 2011 flight on Wednesday, May 4th marked the 18th year that Dreams Take Flight Edmonton has taken children to Disneyland. The flight gave 135 children the opportunity to visit the "Happiest Place on Earth", bringing the total number of children given this opprtunity by the Edmonton chapter to over 1900. Thank you to our volunteers, sponsors and supporters! Award Winning Edmonton Journal photographer Ryan Jackson was on the flight in 2011 and captured the magical day - click here to see a gallery of his photos.
