Terminal pride -

 

Terminal 2 renovations were well underway and the sparkling and efficient Toronto facility is ready to compete head to head with Terminal 3. The new domestic gate area with its large windows, skylights and moving sidewalks was drawing kudos from customers.

 

But it's no secret that our real competitive edge at Terminal 2 is our people - a few of whom are pictured here near Gate 75, left to right: Station Attendants John Coyle, Doug Cawker, Keith Lambert and Joe Cassar; Customer Sales & Service Agents Kerry Russ, Lucinda Fernandes, Brian Arsenault and Dianne Luciani-Cuss; Al Read, A/Airport Shift Manager; Susan Bridges, Customer Sales & Service Agent; Mike DiCorrado, Customer Sales & Service Supervisor; Gloria Jakobsen, Customer Sales & Service Agent and Ron Wiesner, Lead Station Attendant.

 

Editors' Note: Toronto's Terminal 2 was permanently closed and demolished in 2008. This was done to make way for the expansion of the existing Terminal 1. The original Terminal 2 was opened in 1972.

Sunil Perera donates painting.

Sunil Perera, Technical Training Instructor - Dorval wanted to give Air Canada something of his own creation that would remain with the company long after he retires. So, the 18-year veteran painted a reproduction of the 'Battle of Britain' and donated it to the Technical Training Centre in Dorval.

 

He previously raffled off another of his wonderful creations for $500 and generously donated all proceeds to the Canadian Cancer Society. Members of the Technical Training Department got together to thank Sunil for his beautiful painting.

 

They are, left to right: Bob Legault, Jeff Habberfield, Pete Guindon, Gizele Larose, André Baune, Ginette Pelley, Pina Vetrano, Edris Berube, Sunil (holding his painting), Wally Kurdy, Stan Bayliss, Janice Bicknell, Randy Hargreaves, Benoit Pednault, John Laviolette, Zeb Pereira, Gilles Rousseau, René Brisson, Ken Burke, André Benoit, Jim Cairns and Clive Bebbington.
