Transit Partners With Jazz Aviation's “Search For Santa”

Tomorrow, the City of Saskatoon hosts Jazz Aviation’s final stop on their cross-country tour in search of Santa. The event is intended to bring holiday cheer as some of Saskatoon’s most deserving children join Jazz, and community partners such as Saskatoon Transit, in a special day of “Searching for Santa.”

“You hear people talk about ways to instill holiday cheer, but we literally get to deliver it,” says Michael Moellenbeck, Operations Manager for Saskatoon Transit. “When we take these children to the airport, we are delivering them to an experience they will talk about for years to come. Saskatoon Transit is proud to be a part of this worthwhile holiday experience.”

For the Saskatoon portion of this seasonal event, Saskatoon Transit will be transporting 35 children from the Boys & Girls Club to the Saskatoon John G. Diefenbaker International Airport where they will begin their holiday adventure. After their flight the children will enjoy breakfast with His Worship the Mayor Donald Atchison while they share their exciting stories.

As part of a national initiative, Jazz is enlisting the help of children from communities across Canada to help them search for Santa. In each community, children from various organizations board a Jazz aircraft where they get the opportunity to go for a short flight while helping to locate Santa.

“Christmas is a time for making positive memories that last a lifetime,” says Jon MacWilliams, Jazz’s Area Manager of Customer Service for the Prairies. “Jazz is grateful to Saskatoon and the many businesses and organizations like Saskatoon Transit that jumped on board when we proposed this idea. We do these events all across Canada and I am so pleased to bring this special adventure to some very special children here in Saskatoon.”
