Dreams Take Flight 2009
11/04/2009
It will be a magical day for several Kahnawą:ke children who are on their way to Walt Disney World, courtesy of Dreams Take Flight. Early this morning the four local children, along with one hundred and fifty other kids from around the province, boarded a special Air Canada flight bound for Orlando, Florida. Once there, the kids will spend the entire day enjoying all the rides and attractions. Chief Clinton Phillips along with several MCK employees joined the children and their families this morning to see them off. The Kahnawą:ke Peacekeepers were also on hand to provide some pre-flight fun and games for kids. Each year, Dreams Take Flight takes socially, physically and mentally challenged children from across Canada to Disney World. The Montreal chapter of Dreams Take Flight has been providing children with this once-in-a-lifetime trip for the past fifteen years. The Mohawk Council of Kahnawą:ke has been involved with the Dreams Take Flight organization since 2004, helping 22 local kids live a dream. Children are selected by KSCS based on the requirements and standards set by Dreams Take Flight. For more information on the flight, visit http://yul.dreamstakeflight.ca
