Our community is coast to coast.

We’ve fundraised money for the cause, donated many in-kind items for kids to use during their travels, and had the honor of granting several special wishes, including Emily’s trip to Disney World® to meet her favorite princesses and Christian’s journey to Croatia and Greece.

Treat Our Troops

Paradies Lagardère’s customers donated 1 million items of need in 2018 to our military service men and women around the globe through the Treat Our Troops program. Paradies Lagardère’s Treat Our Troops program provides travelers and both airline and airport employees the opportunity to purchase much needed goods for military personnel overseas. These goods are then distributed by the USO and other military service organizations.

Remembrance Day

For the past two years, Paradies Lagardère has donated a portion of the sales from the stores in its 13 airports throughout Canada to honor veterans for Remembrance Day, which benefits the Royal Canadian Legion’s Poppy Trust Fund.
