AIR CANADA SUPPORTS BRITISH COLUMBIA FOREST

FIRE VICTIMS

Air Canada is pleased to offer its support to family members whose primary place of residence has been destroyed as a result of the British Columbia forest fires.

Air Canada recognizes that the loss of a home is devastating and wants to provide those who have suffered this loss with an option to be with family and friends who may reside elsewhere in the country.

All family members whose primary place of residence has been destroyed by the fires in the Kelowna, Penticton and Kamloops regions are eligible for complimentary round trip travel from these BC communities to any Canadian destination served by Air Canada or Air Canada Jazz.

Complimentary travel is available for booking effective August 27 and must be completed by September 30, 2003. Passengers are only required to pay the applicable taxes and surcharges.

Eligible families and individuals whose homes have been destroyed are advised to contact their local British Columbia Provincial Emergency Program Office (PEP) for further information.

Air Canada is also coordinating efforts with the Red Cross and providing complimentary travel to fly relief Red Cross staff to the areas affected by the fires.
