WestJet is proud of the social investment we have made in the communities we serve. Our culture of caring has not ended at the aircraft door - it has extended beyond our people and our guests, and in to the community at large. We take our commitment to corporate responsibility and employee involvement seriously, and embrace the opportunity to connect with those in need. The owners of WestJet feel privileged to be able to help people in the best way we know how: through the gift of flight. Our airline is a strong supporter of various national children's charities focused on health throughout Canada and we feel proud to make a positive impact on kids' lives. We are currently limiting our donation and community investment giving to those organizations.
