About UsAdvancing innovation. Empowering aerospace.

Founded in 2009, Women in Aerospace Canada emerged from the vision of a coalition of Canadian aerospace leaders who recognized the need for a powerful, inclusive network to elevate women in the industry. Built on collaboration, partnership, and purpose, WIA Canada unites professionals at every career stage, from students to executives, across engineering, operations, business, academia, and beyond.
