On May 3 of this year a wildfire made its way through Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada demolishing over 2,400 homes. The community is still grappling with the devastation caused by the wildfire, which is why WestJet choose Fort McMurray and its residents as the recipients of the Canadian airline's annual Christmas miracle, explained Rob Daintree, director of marketing communications for WestJet.
"When we were brainstorming and thinking about what this year's miracle was going to look like, it was a fairly easy one for us in that the very tragic event that happened in northern Alberta—we're based in Alberta, so it's a bit in our backyard—was one of the worst natural disasters in Canadian history," said Daintree.
