In a significant step towards community support, Air Canada Vacations has made an impactful donation of $86,752 to the Sandals Foundation Hurricane Relief Mission. This donation follows the company’s commitment during Giving Tuesday and was made possible through a humanitarian program that contributed $10 for every new package booking made on December 2 and 3, 2025. The initiative aims to aid areas in Jamaica heavily affected by Hurricane Melissa.
Support for Hurricane-Affected Areas
The funds raised are crucial for providing essential aid to families and communities striving to recover from the devastating effects of Hurricane Melissa. The Sandals Foundation has emphasized that over 400 schools have been severely damaged, highlighting the importance of long-term recovery efforts to rebuild educational facilities for children. The considerable donation from Air Canada Vacations will accelerate these restoration initiatives and enrich the lives of those impacted.
Community and Economic Revival
Heidi Clarke, Executive Director of the Sandals Foundation, acknowledged the importance of this contribution, stating, “Air Canada Vacations’ generosity will also enable our long-term recovery efforts to rebuild educational spaces for our young ones.” The partnership with Canadian charitable organizations aims to ensure a sustainable future for Jamaican communities.
Resumption of Leisure Travel to Jamaica
Air Canada Vacations has also announced the resumption of leisure travel to Jamaica. With flights now operating from Montreal and Toronto to Montego Bay, travelers are invited to book vacation packages while taking advantage of a limited-time offer: a $100 discount per person on select packages booked between December 15, 2025, and January 4, 2026.

The initiative aims to foster long-term resilience and economic stability for the island.
This commitment to community support illustrates the collective power of travel and tourism in driving meaningful change, reinforcing the connection between leisure travel and humanitarian efforts.
