CALGARY, March 13 /CNW/ - WestJet (TSX:WJA) today launched their first
strategic community investment program entitled WestJet Cares for Kids. The
program was born from the airline's continued dedication to supporting
children's health through community investment and this year WestJet will give
1,800 flights to their Care for Kids partners.
"We support kids and kids' health through the gift of flight," says Sean
Durfy, President of WestJet. "WestJet's culture is built on caring. WestJet
Cares for Kids is bigger than a corporate dedication to community investment;
it's about empowering WestJetters and making a difference in our communities."

Girls Clubs of Canada, Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, The Missing
Children Society of Canada, CNIB, children's hospitals and pediatric wards
across the country, and their newest community investment partner, Make-A-Wish
Foundation® of Canada.
WestJet will launch the program with Make-A-Wish® at an event on
Friday, March 16, 2007 at their Calgary Hangar. Details to be released this
