    Aviation Fun Day Cancellation Graphic

    6th Annual Aviation Fun Day Cancelled

    Please consider donating to The Food Bank of Waterloo Region & Self-Help Food Bank of Cambridge

    Each year, we look forward to opening our doors to let people explore their airport on foot. In light of the COVID-19 crisis we have made the difficult decision to cancel Aviation Fun Day again this year.

    To help support the local food banks, we've launched the Hunger Departure campaign. Bring your non-perishable food items to the terminal building and we'll take it to the food banks. Monetary donations are also being accepted online at The Food Bank of Waterloo Region and the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank. Thank you for your continued support!

    This will have a negative impact on The Food Bank of Waterloo Region and the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank. Food banks rely on fundraising events and food industry partnerships to operate, leaving significant gaps in donations. This has created a more urgent need for donations in our community. Now, our food banks need to buy even more food items to help fill inventory gaps and they need your help. Together, we can ensure they have enough to feed our most vulnerable. If you can, please consider donating to Food Bank of Waterloo Region and the Cambridge Self-Help Food Bank.

    We will get through this together - for now, we urge people to stay home, stay safe and stay informed.

     

    Thank-you to our Aviation Fun Day 2019 
    volunteers, vendors and the thousands that enjoyed the day!

    In lieu of an admission fee, donations were accepted by The Cambridge Self Help Food Bank and The Food Bank of Waterloo Region. Thanks to everyone for making 2019 our most successful Aviation Fun Day to date! 

    By the numbers:

    • 8,100 people attended – up 59 per cent from last year!
    • 4,145 pounds of food collected – up 15 per cent from last year!
    • $6,590 dollars raised – up 32 per cent from last year! 
      (Including proceeds from the WestJet “Gift of Flight” raffle, Labusch Skywear t-shirt station, Great Lakes Helicopter and Waterloo Wellington Flight Centre sightseeing flights.)
    • To date, Aviation Fun Day has collected 13,751 pounds of food and raised $21,382 for local food banks. All to help the one in 20 households in Waterloo Region that needs food assistance!

    We hope you will join us in 2022 for another fun filled day that helps strengthen our community!
