The Air Canada Foundation presents: A boy and 3 gifts
Good Afternoon All:
Although not very well known as Air Canada does its charity work quietly which is the case here. The most high profile charity work is the Dreams Take Flight were employees raise money for the expenses to take children whose life expectancy is measured in weeks not years to Disneyland or Disneyworld. Air Canada will donate the aircraft for the day and it is crewed by volunteers from the company. The story is about a young aboriginal boy Trent Leon who meets his hockey idol Carey Price who also came from Trent's home town of Anahim Lake British Columbia. Carey Price is also involved with the Breakfast Club of Canada (supporting two in his home town) along with the Air Canada Foundation that makes sure needy school children have breakfast in the morning. From the CBC March 23 2015 http://youtu.be/4m3ky6Mw28k Carey Price gets emotional in meeting with B.C. boy http://i.cbc.ca/1.3006514.1427162705...ce-youtube.jpg Before Montreal Canadiens star goaltender Carey Price showed off his lighter side to a kid with an impromptu selfie, there was a meeting with Trent Leon that gave the B.C., boy a thrill of a lifetime. The meeting got Price, who was born in Anahim Lake, B.C., choked up. Price launched two new breakfast club programs at local schools in his hometown last year. A chosen representative of Anahim Lake Elementary-Junior Secondary School, Trent was flown business class to Montreal on Jan. 18 as part of the Breakfast Club of Canada program in partnership with the Air Canada Foundation. The next day, Trent met Price — his idol. The two exchanged gifts in the dressing room at the Canadiens' training centre. Trent got a chance to shoot a few pucks on Price, then surprised the Habs superstar with written cards from the children of the Anahim Lake school. The cards contained well wishes and thank you notes to Price, who got emotional when he turned to Trent and said, “thanks buddy, that means a lot to me.” |
