ABOUT US
Adaptive Airtime Paragliding is a Canadian non-profit organization dedicated to breaking down barriers and making the experience of free flight accessible to everyone.
Our mission is to provide the experience of paragliding to those facing adversity.
We welcome people with spinal cord and brain injuries, as well as all forms of mobility limitations and special needs. From youngsters to the elderly, we will take anyone soaring who dreams of flying.
We are a group of experienced, HPAC-certified Paragliding Instructors and Tandem pilots united by a single goal. Our lifelong passion for the sport of paragliding and its incredible worldwide community inspires us to share the joy of free flight with others.
From personal friendships to professional associations, we have joined the movement and now follow in the footsteps of the already well-established US non-profit group Project Airtime and its founder, Chris Santacroce, from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA.
