Support Our Troops welcomes Toronto Pearson Airport to the Airway of Heroes Initiative The Airway of Heroes was launched in 2018 as a way for airports across Canada to acknowledge and support members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families. We are thrilled to announce Toronto Pearson International Airport (GTAA) has joined the Support Our Troops and Funding Innovation Airways of Heroes initiative. Within 6 short weeks these installations have generated over $10,000 and are an incredibly important addition to this initiative! The Airway of Heroes was launched in 2018 as a way for airports across Canada to acknowledge and support members of the Canadian Armed Forces and their families. There are now 22 participating international airports across Canada taking part in the Airway of Heroes. These airports have placed art easels throughout their terminal buildings that display Canadian-made, sports, music, and art prints. Travelers can bid on artwork with funds going directly to Support Our Troops. Successful bidders are contacted by Funding Innovation and their artwork is mailed to them, anywhere in Canada. “The Canadian Armed Forces serve Canada with honour and distinction at home and abroad,” says Dorota Bozek, Senior Representative of Passenger Care for the GTAA. “On many occasions, military members have made the supreme sacrifice. We have had fallen soldiers and their families pass through our airport terminals too many times. Here in Canada, whether it is the result of extreme weather events, wildfires, or the recent pandemic, the Canadian Armed Forces are always there for us. Participating in the Airway of Heroes is a way for Pearson International (GTAA) to be there for them.” Having Toronto Pearson International, Canada’s largest airport, join the Airway of Heroes will raise significant funding and awareness for Support Our Troops. The funds raised through this campaign will truly make a difference in the lives of many military members, Veterans, and their families. Thank you Toronto Pearson for standing with us.
