BGC Canada is proud to share WestJet’s Christmas Miracle video, WestJet’s 12 Flights of Christmas, which celebrates the joy of Christmas through the eyes of youth from BGC Canada. Share our Facebook and Twitter posts!

Over 12 days in November, WestJet released 12 Facebook live videos, featuring Blue Santa, Mrs. Claus, and celebrity guests bringing Christmas surprises to WestJet guests in 10 different cities  The final video reveals that these 12 miracles were dreamed up by children from BGC St. Alban’s Club. From a world made of gingerbread at the Ottawa Macdonald-Cartier International Airport to a life-sized snow globe at Toronto Pearson International Airport, WestJet made wishes come true at 12 events in cities across Canada.

A partner for 10 years, WestJet supports BGC by donating the gift of flight, which creates opportunities for youth and staff to travel to training, activities, and events. For their help with WestJet’s 12 Flights of Christmas, the airline donated $10,000 to BGC St. Alban’s Club in Toronto. Read the full press release here.

Please join us in thanking WestJet for their incredible support of BGC!

This year, BGC Canada is celebrating 10 years with WestJet.

To highlight our incredible 10-year partnership with WestJet Cares for Kids, we created a video that tells the story of flying for the first time, an experience that many of our Club youth experience every year, thanks to WestJet.

The video follows Legacy, a youth from the Indigenous Initiatives program at BGC Calgary, and her new friends Zack, Janelle, and James from BGC Red Deer & District Club, on a flight to Ottawa. They were just a few of the young people who were able to attend our 2017 National Youth Conference thanks to WestJet Cares for Kids.

To date, the video has been viewed over 150,000 times!

Check out some of these behind-the-scenes photos:
