WHY CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP MATTERS
Corporate membership at the Royal Aviation Museum of Western Canada is an investment in education, workforce development, and the future of Canada’s aerospace sector. The Museum plays a unique role in introducing young people to the possibilities of flight. Since opening in 2022, more than 40,000 students have participated in our STEM programming, with 184 school groups engaged in 2025 alone. For many, this is their first meaningful exposure to aviation and aerospace — a moment that can shape future ambitions and career pathways.
“The Royal Aviation Museum plays a critical role in providing a pipeline for future aviation and aerospace professionals in Manitoba,” says Ron Drepaul, General Manager of Magellan Aerospace Winnipeg and Museum board member.
Through curriculum-based programs developed with leading STEM and aerospace experts, students gain hands-on experience that connects classroom learning with real-world application. With increasing demand for fully subsidized Access for All programming, corporate support is essential to ensuring that students from underserved communities continue to access these opportunities.
The impact of your support is immediate and long-lasting. As one educator shared, “A Grade 6 student who attended this field trip last year is planning to join Air Cadets this winter. She was inspired during our visit and has been talking about flight ever since. She will make a wonderful pilot someday.”
Corporate membership helps make these moments possible — creating the aviation and aerospace professionals of tomorrow while strengthening Manitoba’s workforce, economy, and future innovation capacity.
