YYT75
This event is a continuation of the YYT75 campaign that began last month when the Airport Authority launched the website, yyt75.com, and contest dedicated to the 75th anniversary. Since the launch, hundreds of people have been sharing their Airport stories for a chance to win a set of 2 tickets to anywhere in North America that Air Canada flies.
