We’re now just a little over a week away from Christmas, and while this isn’t the type of video I normally share, I thought it was worth posting nonetheless. 2016 has been a challenging year for the citizens of Fort McMurray in Alberta, Canada. A forest fire destroyed a large portion of the town, claiming many homes and consuming lots of valuables in the process. But, the holidays won’t be quite so grim there thanks to Canadian airline WestJet, which has made a habit out of making Christmas miracles over the past couple of years. In this video, you’ll see what they did for the people of Fort McMurray, and if it doesn’t warm your heart heading into the holiday season, I don’t know what will. Have a great weekend!
