Not all disabilities are visible.
YYG is part of the Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program - supporting passengers with invisible or hidden disabilities. Wearing a Sunflower lanyard is a discreet way to indicate to airport staff that someone may need extra support, assistance or time when travelling through our airport.
The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower is a simple tool for you to voluntarily share that you have a disability or condition that may not be immediately apparent – and that you may need a helping hand, understanding, or more time in shops, at work, on transport, or in public spaces.
While some of us experience a disability that is visible, many have a non-visible condition or experience a combination of both visible and non-visible conditions. These disabilities can be temporary, situational or permanent. They can be neurological, cognitive and neurodevelopmental as well as physical, visual, auditory and include sensory and processing difficulties. They can also be respiratory as well as chronic health conditions such as arthritis and diabetes, chronic pain and sleep disorders.
Lanyards can be picked up at the security desk or called to book yours in advance - (902) 566-7997
The Hidden Disabilities Sunflower Program is part of the YYG’s efforts to provide an inclusive and welcoming airport. For more information, visit hdsunflower.com
