Editors' Note: Sadly, Terry found the following notice while checking up on ACRA activities after lifting of most Covid restrictions For Wayne's memories of ACRA see NetLetter #1440. ACRA YYZ Chapter closed December 2020 Toronto A.C.R.A (Air Canada Recreation Association) wishes to advise that after 47 years of representing our membership in a social capacity, such as, the Children's Christmas party, the Gala Dinner Dance, picnics, Blue Jays days, supporting tournaments as well as bringing you outside discounts and AC merchandise, there are not enough active employees able to volunteer to continue. ACRA would like to thank all members who participated, volunteered and donated throughout the years. As well as Air Canada who, with their support, made it possible for ACRA to operate. It is with a heavy heart the Board of Directors have decided to close and our hope for the future is that ACRA will be resurrected by new volunteers, to once again, become the Recreation Association many employees enjoy. Sincerely, the ACRA board of Directors |

In 1956, Robert joined Station Services in Montreal and retired in 1991 as Line Maintenance Planning Manager. Roger got his start in 1960 in Montreal in Station Operations and retired as Lead Station Attendant in 1998. In 1969, Laurie started in Saint John, New Brunswick in Station Operations and retired as Station Agent in 2001. And our story continues, as Robert's son Michael works in Maintenance and is carrying on the family tradition with 22 years of service up to 2001. |

On September 5, 2002 we launched the first phase of our new, enhanced International 'Executive First' service. The flights were full and everyone was thrilled with the new personalized service they received. Starting with flights to London, Paris and Frankfurt, the new service will roll out in stages to more of the network. Later that year it will expand to Japan, and early next year to Asia/Pacific and South America. |
