Hope Air

Hope Air is a national charity that arranges free non-emergency medical flights for low-income Canadians who must travel far from home to access healthcare.

[6] In 1995, Romeo LeBlanc, then-Governor General of Canada, became Hope Air's first Viceregal patron.

In 2010, British Columbia struck a partnership with Hope Air to provide flights to residents of the province who need to travel for healthcare.

This marks the first time in its history that Hope Air provided ground travel to patients.

A number of Canadian airlines provide in-kind donations of seats on scheduled flights.

In 2018, volunteers donated over 5000 hours to sustaining Hope Air's mission in the areas of Client Care, Fund Development, Marketing & Communications, and Ambassadorship.

The charity estimates that for every single person it helps, it positively impacts 45 other people in their community.
