North Peace Regional Airport is proud to offer the globally recognized Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program to support passengers with hidden disabilities, also known as invisible disabilities. The Sunflower logo aims to assist those travelling with invisible disabilities who may need a little extra patience, care and assistance during their travel experience.
Traveling with a hidden disability? Our Sunflower lanyard serves as a subtle signal to our dedicated airport staff. It indicates that you may appreciate additional assistance or patience during your airport journey. The choice to wear the Sunflower lanyard is entirely voluntary and respects your privacy.
Collect your Sunflower Lanyard from any member of our Terminal Services team. If you need assistance locating the counter or have any queries, please reach us at:
250-787-0426
info@yxj.ca.
For in-flight assistance, we recommend reaching out to your airline in advance. They are equipped to provide the necessary support during your flight.
The Sunflower Lanyard Program isn’t about special privileges or expedited processes. It’s about empathy, understanding, and respect.
It reminds our staff to extend compassion, offer additional assistance when needed, and ensure that every passenger feels comfortable and confident during their journey.
The Sunflower lanyard is more than just a travel accessory. It’s a symbol of our commitment to you. Keep it as a memento of your journey with us, and feel free to use it at over 130 Sunflower-friendly airports worldwide.
Please note that this program does not allow for special treatment or expedited security screening but is a reminder to airport staff to show extra compassion, allow time for additional assistance, and let those travelling with these hidden disabilities feel comfortable and confident.
