Thanks to an initiative by airline PAL, youngsters from disadvantaged backgrounds were able to meet Father Christmas and Mother Christmas.

The event, which returned for its third edition in Quebec, made it possible to create magical moments for several partners, including the Center for Social Pediatrics of Quebec.

“For us at the center, especially the children, it is truly a privilege to live this experience. For our part, the children we support live in extreme vulnerability,” shared Jean-Christophe Nicolas, director of the organization.

“It relieves them during the holiday season, when these situations are not easy for them. Sometimes, it makes them forget their daily life a little bit.

Here are some testimonials from parents gathered at Quebec City’s Jean-Lesage International Airport upon returning from their short trip:

“It’s extraordinary. My daughter won it, she was shocked! pointed out one mother.

“It was the first time for him and me that we had ever flown. He knew we were going to the North Pole to see Santa Claus, which was quite an adventure,” said another woman.
