Since 2007, BGC Canada and WestJet have partnered through the Gift of Flight program. This collaboration has brought hope and opportunity to countless young people and families.
WestJet’s Gift of Flight initiative has been a cornerstone of support for BGC Winnipeg, with over $50,000 in funds raised over the years through event auctions directly benefiting our after-school programming. These programs provide a safe, inclusive, and nurturing space where children and youth can learn, grow, and thrive – all at no cost to families in our community.
“The support from WestJet and their Gift of Flight program is invaluable,” says Ron Brown, President and CEO. “It allows us to keep our programs free of charge, ensuring that no young person is left behind because of financial barriers. We’re incredibly grateful for their commitment to empowering the next generation.”
WestJet’s dedication to building strong communities aligns with BGC Winnipeg’s mission of ensuring all children and youth discover their potential. The Gift of Flight auctions have engaged supporters across the city, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.
Thank you, WestJet, for your unwavering support and for helping us create brighter futures for young people in Winnipeg. Here’s to many more years of partnership and positive change!
