Sometimes animal rescue takes a whole runway of people.
This transport was a reminder that helping animals is never just one person, one organization, or one flight. It is a community of people stepping up at exactly the right time.
When orphaned trumpeter swan cygnets in northwestern Ontario needed specialized care, people across the province came together to help move them safely from Thunder Bay to southern Ontario.
Volunteer pilot @Isaiah.Frazao and his crew flew the young swans, working alongside @thunderbirdwildlife, @ShadesofHopeWildlifeRefuge, airport teams, flight support services, and people on the ground who helped make the mission possible.
A special thank you to Isaiah, the team at @KenoraAirport, Roy for generously covering the cost of fuel, @NAVCANADA.ca Flight Services, London Flight Information Centre, and everyone who played a role behind the scenes.
From route support to check-ins along the way, this was a true team effort.
At the heart of it all were animals who needed a chance, and a network of people who refused to let distance stand in the way.

Working alongside the Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre @OntarioTurtleCC, volunteer pilot @Isaiah.Frazao recently helped transport injured turtles to receive the specialized care they need, avoiding a more than 20-hour drive from where they were found.
The Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre saves thousands of turtles every year, and we`re proud to support their incredible work by helping these patients get there safely and quickly.
Congratulations to Isaiah on his first flight with us, and thank you for helping make a difference for Canada`s wildlife! 💚

After falling from their nest and sustaining injuries, these two young owls needed specialized care that only @TheOwlFoundation can provide. Thanks to our volunteer pilot Maciej @tangotangomango, they were safely flown from our sending rescue partner Thunderbird Wildlife @thunderbirdwildlife to the Foundation.
This is a great example of how wildlife rescue is truly a team effort. 💙 We regularly work with partners to transport injured raptors and other wildlife to make sure they can access the specialized care that gives them the best chance of recovery.
Thank you to everyone involved in making these life-saving journeys possible!

When an orphaned Sandhill Crane colt was found without its parents, every effort was made to give this little one a fighting chance.
Volunteer pilot @kai.salvini flew the young bird from Earlton to our wildlife partners at @woodlandswildlifesanctuary where a team was ready to provide the specialized care it needed.
Despite everyone`s best efforts, the crane sadly didn`t survive.
While this isn`t the ending any of us wanted, we believe these stories matter too. Behind a transport like this are volunteer staff and pilots, wildlife rehabilitators and their partners who generously give their time, skills, and hearts to help animals in need.
Not every life can be saved, but we believe every life is worth the effort.
Thank you to Kai and the team at Woodlands Wildlife Sanctuary for answering the call and giving this young crane every possible chance.

Exciting things have taken flight at Canadian Wings of Rescue.
After listening to feedback from our rescue partners and volunteer pilots, we recently launched new customized web dashboards to help streamline animal transport coordination across our network.
These new tools will make it easier for rescues to submit and track requests and ultimately help more animals in need.
At the heart of it all is the same mission: connecting pilots who believe in public benefit flying with rescues helping animals get the second chances they deserve.
Thank you to our volunteer pilots and rescue partners across Canada for helping us continue to grow and improve.

A transport with double the impact!
When a temporary foster could no longer keep them, 17 dogs, including 2 adults and 15 puppies, needed to be moved from northern Saskatchewan. Our partner, @northernanimalrescue , reached out to us to help make it happen.
Volunteer pilot @PaulRick26 stepped up to help, flying in 500 lbs of donated dog food to the community before flying the dogs out to a better future.
In remote northern communities, access to essential supplies like dog food can be more difficult and costly, making this delivery especially meaningful.
It’s a powerful example of making every kilometre flown count!
