WestJet, Hope Air Raise $30K Hauling Aircraft for Canadian Medical Travel

WestJet and Hope Air partnered once again to host the Haul for Hope event in Edmonton, where over 100 participants formed teams to haul a 67,000-pound WestJet Q400 aircraft, raising $30,000 to support Canadians who need to travel long distances for medical care. This fundraising effort reflects the strong community support and the commitment of both organizations to ensure no Canadian is left behind in accessing vital health services. Since 2007, the partnership between WestJet and Hope Air has facilitated more than 24,000 flights for patients in need and raised significant funds to support medical travel. Edmonton International Airport (YEG) played a key role in hosting the event, emphasizing its importance in providing seamless access to health services nationwide. The event symbolizes a broader solidarity effort, combining strength and community spirit to help patients receive the treatment they require regardless of distance. These ongoing efforts highlight WestJet and Hope Air's dedication to easing the financial and logistical burdens of medical travel for Canadians.
