  • Award Presentation to Robert Deluce of Porter Airlines
    1 | P a g e Robert Deluce Award Presentation Wednesday May 17 – 3:30 P.M. – Bushplane Museum [AS PREPARED FOR DELIVERY] Good afternoon everyone, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to participate in today’s ceremony. We are here of course honouring Mr. Robert Deluce, CEO of Porter Airlines, for the positive contributions they have made to our community. This month marks the 5th anniversary since Porter service began in Sault Ste. Marie. In that time, our city’s business sector, tourism sector, and our residents at large have all benefited from having more choice and a greater availability of scheduled air service. The Economic Developers Council of Ontario is holding their spring symposium in Sault Ste. Marie this week and the theme is “Connecting the North to the South.” When you live and work here in the North, there are times when you feel removed from much of the rest of the province. It’s a separation born from geography, but it can be psychological as well. 2 | P a g e Having Porter service in the Sault has helped to bridge some of this physical and mental divide. Since 2011, it has been easier for many Sault residents to travel for health appointments, to school and for vacations. Business travellers have benefitted from convenient service right to downtown Toronto, or on to other major destinations such as Montreal, Chicago and New York. And likewise, being a Porter destination has certainly made Sault Ste. Marie a more reachable place for people in other cities who are considering travelling here—whether for business or pleasure.

Popular with outdoor enthusiasts, Muskoka has established itself among the world’s iconic summer retreats. Flights will have an air time of approximately 20 minutes, operating twice weekly on Thursdays and Mondays between Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport and Muskoka Airport, from June 27 to September 3. Connecting flights are available via Toronto for numerous Porter destinations in the U.S. and Canada. “Muskoka is an inspiring destination that attracts travellers from near and far,” said Robert Deluce, president and CEO of Porter Airlines. “This new route serves as a great opportunity to link Muskoka to our North American network.” Travellers can soak up stunning scenery, from picturesque historic towns and villages to iconic Algonquin Park, and the area’s famous waterways, including beautiful Georgian Bay.

  • Thank You & Campaign Results
    THANK YOU & CAMPAIGN RESULTS HHTH.COM | #STAYTHEPUCKHOME ABOUT THE STAY THE PUCK HOME CAMPAIGN FROM HOCKEY HELPS THE HOMELESS & BARDOWN HOCKEY Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) was forced to put their pro- am tournament season on hold, which bring in much-needed dollars to homeless support agencies and shelters across Canada. However, just because the pandemic put the rest of the world on pause, the need for support and funding for homeless and at-risk Canadians did not stop. In fact, it is only growing. For homeless and at-risk Canadians, the realities of the novel coronavirus are much different. They are at a much higher risk of contracting infections, chronic illnesses or compromised immune systems, making them extremely vulnerable to the virus and many lack the access to the supplies and infrastructure needed to maintain their health. Shelters and front-line workers working through the pandemic are in desperate need of funds since COVID-19 has put a tight strain on their budget and resources. They face an increase in demand from their clients, and a decrease in charitable giving from sponsors and their donors. Even though we are currently unable to host tournaments, everyone at HHTH still wanted to find a way to help. In order to do so, we teamed up with Bardown Hockey to create an exclusive, limited edition clothing line called “Stay The Puck Home” to support Canada’s homeless. 100% of net proceeds from the sale of the $25 t-shirts and $50 hoodies went to our charity partners from coast-to-coast.

  • An Open Letter to the Prime Minister of Canada and All Premiers
    An Open Letter to the Prime Minister of Canada and all Premiers As a society, we have faced a threat like no other, COVID-19. And we are still dealing with it. Under the leadership of our governments, we agreed to implement tough decisions to protect our health and safety. We shut down our schools, our businesses, and our borders. We all made sacrifices and continue to adapt to this new reality. Now, it seems, we are getting through the worst of it. As we re-open, we are learning to live with the virus, not hide from it or from each other. And, just like we are re-opening the front doors of our homes and businesses, we need to re-open the doors of our provinces, territories – and our country. The Canadian travel, tourism and hospitality sector employs 1.8 million people and contributes $102 billion to our economy. It relies on the summer season to survive. As Canadians, we wait all year to travel during the summer. We need the summer. Like you, we believe personal safety is critical. However, many of the travel restrictions currently in place are simply too broad or unnecessary. Limitations on inter-provincial travel that restrict Canadians from freely exploring our country, should be removed. Canadians should be free to travel across Canada. We also need a more targeted approach to international travel. The mandatory 14-day quarantine and complete closure of our country to all visitors from abroad is no longer necessary and is out of step with other countries across the globe.

Now thinking specifically about NHL hockey, how important is it to Canadian culture and identity? Very Important Important Not very important Totally unimportant 3. How important is NHL hockey to you? I’m a diehard fan I’m a fan A lot of other interests come before hockey I don’t care about hockey at all 4.

    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender.

  • 1 October 25, 2007 Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal Robert
    1 October 25, 2007 Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal Robert Deluce President and CEO, Porter Airlines Remarks Porter Airlines: Taking off into a headwind [CHECK AGAINST DELIVERY] Thank you, Amadou, for your warm introduction. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s my pleasure to be with you this morning. I greatly appreciate this opportunity to address the Board of Trade of Metropolitan Montreal …the voice of commerce for one of Canada’s most important cities and a cornerstone Porter Airlines destination. As you heard earlier, just two days ago we celebrated the first anniversary of our inaugural flight to Ottawa. In a matter of a few weeks we’ll celebrate the first anniversary of the implementation of our Montreal service. It’s been an exhilarating first year and we couldn’t be more pleased about how much progress we have made in such a short time period. I am especially gratified by the role Porter has played in helping build further economic ties between Toronto and Montreal. The amount of trade in goods and services between Quebec and Ontario is close to $70 billion each year based on recent numbers. This is more than occurs between some smaller nations. Our geographic proximity encourages doing business face to face and, in so doing, strengthens the ties between Canada’s two major centers…and its two major cultures. I take pride in knowing Porter has done its part by making the relationship more convenient, enjoyable and productive. The Montreal-Toronto route is the second busiest by passenger volume in Canada. On any given weekday, there are at least 39 scheduled round-trip flights available between the two cities.
