WESTJET ANNUAL REPORT 2004
The Missing Children Society of Canada
(MCSC) is a registered non-profit organi-
zation dedicated to the search for abducted
and runaway children. MCSC provides a
comprehensive investigative program called
Project: Reunite, free of charge, to assist
police and searching parents in the active
ongoing search for missing children.
Each year, MCSC investigators work on more
than 500 cases including stranger abductions,
parental abductions, disappearances and
runaways. Many of these cases require
investigators to travel across the country to
conduct interviews and searches in order to
find the missing children.
Since April 2003, WestJet has provided
MCSC and its investigative team with flights
free of charge across Canada to aid in this
important work.
Rhonda Morgan, Founder and Executive
Director of MCSC, comments on the impact
free flights from WestJet has had on the
organization: “The hard costs involved with
the investigations were often restrictive,
but thanks to the generous gift of flight
from WestJet, the Missing Children Society
of Canada has been able to work on more
cases than ever before, and as a direct result
has managed to locate and bring many
children home.”
In 2004, MCSC investigators travelled from
their Calgary office more than 70 times to
work on cases across the country. It is
estimated that WestJet has saved the Society
well over $40,000 on air travel since 2003.

Children Society of Canada, please call

In 2004, WestJet’s gift of travel raised over $312,000 to help The Canadian National
Institute for the Blind (CNIB) assist people of all ages with vision loss achieve their goals
and live satisfying, independent lives. By supporting fundraising events across Canada –
such as the CNIB Walk Towards Independence, Visions Luncheons, art events, golf
tournaments, lotteries and more – WestJet helps thousands of blind, visually impaired
and deaf/blind Canadians and their families from coast to coast.
Way to go WestJet!
WestJet flights help the Missing Children Society
of Canada continue the search
“On behalf of the families we help,
the Missing Children Society of
Canada would like to say thank you
to WestJet, its people and
shareholders for their ongoing
support. Because of you the search
will continue.” – Rhonda Morgan,
Founder and Executive Director
