Giving Tuesday is a national giving day slated for Dec. 2.
This is a new Canadian effort encouraging people to give and volunteer, marking the opening day of the giving season.
People are encouraged to volunteer or donate to their favourite charity, like Hope Air, a national organization that provides transportation to low-income Canadians who need non-emergency healthcare not available in their communities. So far in 2014 Prince George residents have taken 400 free flights and in 2013 Hope Air and its commercial airline partners have provided 7,090 free flights within Canada. Air transportation reduces the emotional, financial and physical stress that people and their families have to face while dealing with a serious illness. Almost half of the people who fly with Hope Air are children.
