The Thunder Bay International Airport is helping with the effort, while WasayaAirways, North Star Air, Perimeter Aviation and KBM Resources are generously supplying the planes.

"It's a remarkable act of kindness and generosity. Many would go without this holiday season and these airlines have stepped up to make a real difference," said Michael Dick, CBC Thunder Bay executive producer.
