Assistance, which is provided pursuant to an established policy, includes financial contributions, in-kind donations, as well as volunteer commitments by our employees— who not only enthusiastically respond to calls from Transat, but also take their own initiatives on a regular basis. In 2008, Transat, its business units, employees and customers made approximately $1.8 million in contributions, in cash or in kind, to charitable, humanitarian and non-profit organizations. Direct contributions by our employees to causes such as Centraide of Greater Montreal, as well as to the Canadian Red Cross hurricane relief effort following the devastation caused by Gustav and Ike in Cuba and Haiti totalled more than $180,000. Donations by the organization (the bulk of them in cash) and by customers to The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada amounted to approximately $800,000 each. As it has done for years, Air Transat continued to offer free transportation of humanitarian goods to groups and volunteers working in the field in underdeveloped countries. We flew 2.5 tonnes of goods, destined mostly for the Caribbean, on about 20 such missions in 2008. The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada In 2008, Air Transat collected nearly $800,000 in donations from passengers for The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada, which fulfils wishes for children with life-threatening illnesses.
