Canadian Wings of Rescue is a 100% volunteer run federally registered charity organization dedicated to transporting animals within Canada. Our purpose is to work with Canadian rescue groups, shelters, and/or wildlife rehabilitation centres when they are faced with a transportation need. We arrange free, short domestic flights via our dedicated volunteer pilots wherever possible.
Transports help abused, abandoned and injured animals and help animals get to fosters, adopters, rehabilitation centres or other not-for-profit organizations.

This week, we`re celebrating an incredible partner who shares our goal of giving animals a second chance. When Northwest Canadian Greyhound League(@ncglcanada) reached out to help transport Prince and Bailey—two beautiful surrender greyhounds—we were honoured to step in.
Thanks to their tireless dedication and the volunteer pilot who donated their time and aircraft, Prince and Bailey soared across the skies to their foster homes in Alberta, where they`re now one step closer to finding their forever families.
To the team at Northwest Canadian Greyhound League: thank you for trusting us to be part of these journeys. Your commitment to rescuing and rehoming greyhounds inspires us every day.

From abandoned to adored.
When Skye was found alone on a rooftop, dehydrated and starving, @WetNosesRescue stepped in, and thanks to the generous donations that support their work, she made a full recovery. Now she’s ready for her next chapter: a final safe, loving home.
Huge thanks to volunteer pilot @BradReid_BTC for donating his time (and a whole lot of care) to bring Skye to safety.
On the first attempt at the transport, weather forced them to turn back, but Brad went above and beyond to keep Skye comfortable and secure overnight. Day two brought clearer skies, and they made the full trip through B.C.’s interior to complete Skye’s journey to her new home.
A true team effort, and a powerful reminder of what happens when people show up for animals who can’t ask for help.

We closed out 2025 with one last transport on December 30!
When ground options are limited, civil aviation can help close the gap so animals reach the help they need.
Six puppies, found living outdoors in Saskatchewan with no available fosters, needed a transfer across provinces to care. Volunteer pilot Ken flew his Piper turboprop from Saskatoon, SK to Victoria, B.C., delivering the pups safely to our partner @Itty.Bitty.Kitty.Committeeibkc.
This flight was the final step in a larger rescue effort led by Northern Pup Project in Saskatchewan. Thank you to the many volunteers on the ground—the finder, temporary caregivers, vet teams, drivers, and coordinators—who stabilized these pups and got them flight-ready.
And a special thanks to pilot @Dr.Campbell.vet.dentist who also volunteered for this transport.
Here`s to another exciting year of flying with a purpose!

A coastal B.C. relay of three eagles, told in three flights…
Volunteer pilot @Fraserrecon departed Vancouver in his amphibious aircraft (a plane equipped to take off and land on both water and runways), heading for Bella Bella.
Waiting there: two rehabilitated eagles cleared by @OWLRehab to return to the wild. With the birds secured and weather checked, he turned north to Masset, where both eagles were released back to coastal skies.
The mission wasn’t over. In Masset, a third eagle—injured and in need of specialized care—was ready for transport. He set course south and flew the raptor patient to Vancouver, where the team at OWL (Orphaned Wildlife Rehabilitation Society) stood by to receive it.
From Vancouver to Bella Bella to Masset and back to Vancouver, we can’t thank @Fraserrecon enough for his commitment and generous donation of his time and aircraft.
