YOUR OWNERS’ MANUAL
In December 2005, WestJetters visited the
Edmonton Children’s Hospital
and delivered presents to sick children.
Keep this airline connected at all times,
not just with faraway causes, but also with those charitable
organizations closer to home.
HOPE AIR
For a decade now, WestJet has proudly donated flights to
Hope Air, an organization that is dedicated to arranging
free air transportation for Canadians who are in financial
need and require medical care outside their home
communities. To aid in the recovery process, we often
provide flights at no charge to loved ones of those seeking
help as well. Since its inception, Hope Air has arranged
more than 47,000 flights, and WestJet owners are proud
of the part they have played in this worthwhile cause.
MISSING CHILDREN SOCIETY OF CANADA
Over 65,000 children are reported missing in Canada every
year. Thanks to WestJet, many families are also reunited.
WestJet is the official airline of the Missing Children Society
of Canada (MCSC), a registered non-profit organization
dedicated to the search for abducted and runaway children.
As the official airline of the MCSC, we provide free flights
to the charity’s investigators. We are pleased to play a role
in securing the MCSC’s many happy endings.
THE CANADIAN NATIONAL INSTITUTE FOR THE BLIND
In 2005, WestJet helped raise much needed funds through
gifts of flight to help the Canadian National Institute for
the Blind (CNIB) achieve its goal: creating a “world of
independence and equality for people who are blind or
visually impaired so that they can lead independent lives.”
WestJet is a proud supporter of CNIB fundraising events
across Canada such as the CNIB Walk Towards Independence.
Through our help and the aid of others, the CNIB is able
to support medical research and the development of
technology that helps people who are blind or visually
impaired lead independent lives.
Aside from ad hoc help to people and
agencies that need assistance following
unexpected acts of nature, WestJet is also
a strong supporter of various charities
throughout the year.
