********** donating $10 from every online booking to support ******* relief aid

MONTREAL — ********** is donating $10 for every booking made on *********.com to support ******* relief aid, with a total donation of up to $250,000.

The $250,000 donation will be in addition to the $170,000 contribution recently made by **********’s employees and the ********** Foundation to the Canadian Red Cross and other charities, as well as the ongoing humanitarian aid destined to Poland and ******* transported through ********** Cargo.

Aeroplan Members may donate Aeroplan points at Ukrainian Relief Fund, with 100% of points to be redistributed to various charitable organizations supporting relief efforts for Ukrainian refugees as well as providing critical aid to those in need, says the *******.

********** customers can also choose to donate further to the ********** Foundation which will focus donations to registered organizations in their work supporting the people of *******.

Says **********’s President and CEO, Michael Rousseau: “Together with our employees, our hearts are firmly in solidarity with *******’s people in need. We will be donating up to $250,000 towards ******* relief aid, complementing the donations made last week by our employees and the ********** Foundation. It is clear the scale of this extraordinary worldwide ****** requires combined efforts and to collectively enable additional global humanitarian support, we have made it possible for Aeroplan Members to donate points towards ******* relief. We also remain in close contact with various stakeholders to determine how ********** and its employees can support Ukrainian people further, including those coming to Canada.”

He adds that ********** and ********** Cargo can accept requests for free or discounted transport of shipments including excess ******* waivers from registered charitable organizations only. These must be via **********’s online application process. Individuals who wish to contribute supplies or other forms of aid are asked to work directly with a registered organization.
