Dreams Take Flight Halifax provides the trip of a lifetime to medically, mentally, physically, socially or emotionally challenged children. Each year, our Halifax chapter accompanies over 130 deserving children from the Maritime provinces (New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, PEI & Newfoundland) to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. Our mission is to provide these deserving children one magical day, regardless of the challenges they face in their everyday lives. This adventure allows these children to forget their day to day fears and hardships while allowing them to know their worth, develop self-esteem, and independence.
Our team at Dreams Take Flight believes we can make a major difference in these children’s lives by opening up a window of possibilities without limitations.
Air Canada generously donates an aircraft for a 24 hour period. The money we raise throughout the year is used to pay for all the day’s expenses, including fuel for the aircraft, airport fees and taxes, admission to Disney World, commemorative gifts, appropriate footwear for the children, food, and clothing to identify the children and their escorts. In order to achieve these goals our organization relies heavily on the generosity of corporate sponsors.

With continued support from our communities and our sponsors, we can continue to make ‘magical memories’ happen.
