Vancouver International Airport (YVR) launched on Tuesday the Less Airport Stress Initiative (LASI), an innovative program that has YVR Ambassador Dogs throughout the terminal to provide all airport users with a new way to deal with anxiety.
“We recognize that an airport can be a stressful environment. By introducing the YVR Ambassador Dogs through our LASI initiative, we hope that our four-legged friends will help to ease any anxiety associated with travel,” said Reg Krake, YVR’s director of customer care.
“We want all our guests to have a positive experience at YVR and we know the LASI initiative will enhance the airport experience for passengers, visitors and employees.”
YVR partnered with St. John Ambulance and their Therapy Dog program to provide seven dogs for the LASI initiative.
The YVR Ambassador Dogs will be accompanied by a dog handler and YVR Green Coat.
