Canadian Airports Safety Week is almost here!

Get ready to soar into Canadian Airports Safety Week (CASW) alongside Canada’s airports and the Canadian Aviation Council! This year, CASW runs from Monday, Sept. 23 to Friday, Sept. 27, and we’ve got some fun events planned to recognize and celebrate all that our Crew and partners do to keep our teams and guests safe. 

Our goal is to educate and engage our airport community to fuel safety-first behaviours with initiatives throughout the week and continue building our safety culture beyond CASW. Join us as we celebrate our commitment to safety — and remember, See Something. Say Something.
