. Running an event for retirees or actives?
From Employee Communications -
Looking for gifts for a company function? The new company
policy no longer allows employees/retirees to solicit gifts from outside
sources.
If you want to give away items for a company event, you can purchase Air
Canada
promotional items a number of ways. Official merchandise can be bought from
Signa Marco Promotions, employees with full internet privileges can visit the
Signatures e-Boutique on Aeronet (under Neighbourhoods) or call toll free
(888)
680-4151 in North America or 001 (514) 737-1156 from overseas. Or, if you
would
like to have interline prize letters, Employee Travel will obtain them from
our
interline partners. Employees and departments should not contact other
airlines
for prize letters or donations.

. Remember when!
From 'Horizons' Aug 1977 -
A large number of employees were involved in transporting some 7,000
Boy Scouts to the jamboree at Charlottetown, PEI who played host to 17,300
Boy Scouts during the summer of 1977.
Employees were in place at Sumerside to handle 40 DC8, 8 B727 and 12 DC9
aircraft movements.
Some people invloved were Leo McIntyre, Brian Jensen (YUL), Doug Gallupe
(YHZ), Charles Brown (YOW), Dave Showers (YUL), Colin Lelliot (YHZ), Dave
Russell (Charlottetown), Frank Gormley (St.John) and Byron Yuill (YHZ)
On October 29,
1995, Air Canada launched 13 non-stop scheduled services to the U.S. from
Vancouver,
Calgary, Toronto and Montreal. The destinations were Denver, Los Angeles, San
Francisco, Houston, Washington D.C. (Dulles), Las Vegas, Fort Lauderdale,
Orlando, West Palm Beach and Fort Myers. What makes this so special? It was a
Canadian aviation record for the most new services launched in a single day.
