Sunflower Program
YUL Montréal-Trudeau International Airport is proud to provide passengers with invisible disabilities with sunflower lanyards to help them show airport staff that they may need extra help or more time to complete travel-related procedures.
If you or the person you're traveling with has an invisible disability such as autism, chronic pain, epilepsy, low vision, hearing loss, dementia, anxiety disorders, brain damage, and many others, the lanyard represents a discreet symbol enabling airport staff to identify you and provide you with the best possible support.
