Air Canada to the rescue! Thank you for supporting music at Mikisew!

After Long McQuade's generous donation of three guitars, and Humberside students raising enough money to support Star purchasing another guitar and five ukuleles we were a little anxious about how Star would get all of these great instruments back to Winnipeg. Air Canada was amazing!
As soon as we requested some help with the baggage fees they waived all of the fees immediately and were kind enough to give us advice on how to pack the label the instruments!
Here is part of their email response:
"We received your request for support, thank you. The Air Canada Foundation has also been very much involved with First Nation communities, especially with regards to the health and the wellbeing of children – and as such, it will be our great pleasure to assist you as best as we can." - Manon Chabot  Chef des Communications de l’entreprise – Fondation Air Canada    

Charles from media relations called Lisa Prinn who has sent the request in on Tuesday night and Wednesday morning first thing he called and was so kind! I can not say enough about how kind and thoughtful he was! He even called back to make sure we knew that Star was taken care of and they even refunded her one baggage fee. Truly amazing!!! 

Thank you @AirCanada! 

Long McQuade were also heroes. They got a box and bubble wrap and put it all packed nicely and safely away for us. Such great people!!
