In the spirit of the holiday season, we’re celebrating inspiring Canadians who are making a real difference in their communities.
In addition to rewarding them with the gift of travel, we’re recognizing these exceptional individuals by sharing their acts of devotion and kindness with the world, and we’re making a donation to the charity of their choice, through the Air Canada Foundation.
