Women in Aerospace Canada

Join DAIR for a virtual panel discussion, co-hosted with McMaster University and Featuring experts from Boeing and GE Aerospace who will discuss trends and opportunities in aerospace leveraging Green Manufacturing.

Through Centennial’s NSERC funding application, the Downsview Aerospace Innovation and Research Consortium (DAIR) will leverage its state-of-the-art facilities and equipment to catalyze the transformation of aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul. The shared goal is accelerating innovation in sensor and repair technologies, robotics and automation, digitization and data analytics, business processes, and sustainable development in Ontario.

Roll up your sleeves, put on an apron and work with colleagues and WIA members in an enjoyable, hands-on team cooking experience. Upon arrival we will break into teams and take instructions from the Professional Chefs, Wine Tasting with Culinaria Sommelier, and Craft Beer Tastings with Brew Master Joe Mrav from Grain & Grit all while enjoying a cocktail. When we have finished cooking and tasting we will be directed into our private dining room where we will be served the delicious meal we have helped create.

Women in Aerospace Canada (WIA-Canada) is delighted to partner with Holger Heckel of AVERA Consulting Inc. to provide this exclusive Continuous Improvement 101 Technical Series to our aerospace community: open to women and men in any role. Whether you are a continuous improvement professional or not, this unique program is designed to provide participants with an opportunity to gain knowledge on continuous improvement activities, especially as these have become more critical than ever in the ongoing post-pandemic economic recovery.

Speed Mentoring provides a unique forum for those either just starting out or mid-career to interact with senior-level men and women in industry, military and the public sector. Mentees have the opportunity to engage in 15-minute conversations with talented senior leaders who represent a wide array of organizations in the defence and security industries. While these short sessions are designed for participants to seek career advice, they often turn into engaging conversations rather than following a simple question and answer format.

Work and workplaces are challenging. As we emerge from the life altering changes of the past two years, we are all experiencing continued transformations to how and where we work. We’ve learned a lot about the effort it takes to be at our best at work in a variety of circumstances. We continue to learn how to move through the demands of our various roles while attending to our well-being and that of those who depend on us at home and at work.

Based on great feedback from last year’s book club, we will be hosting our 2nd annual Book Club this fall. The purpose of the Book Club is to be a forum for women in the Aerospace and other related sectors to discuss their experiences in the workplace. With the help of articles and one book, each session will tackle a particular topic including the importance of diversity, equality, the importance of women in the Aerospace (and other related sectors), and challenges under-represented groups may face in the workforce today.
