Court dismisses appeal in
Air Canada ticket policy dispute
ir Canada’s legal defence of its ticket
A
terminology took another hit recently,
when the Supreme Court of Canada
decided against allowing the airline to
appeal an earlier decision by a BC court.
Barring further legal road blocks, both Air Canada and
Luft hansa Airlines may be fighting a class action lawsuit
over the description of fuel surcharges on their tickets.
It is based on the actions of one consumer who contends
that the airline’s ticket terminology is misleading and false.
The burgeoning class action lawsuit argues that the fuel
surcharges that are added to air-fares were termed as taxes
on the tickets, implying that they were being collected for
another party – for example, a government office.
But this is not the
case, as pointed out
by in the original
complaint by Air
Canada passenger

Bulent Unlu, who filed

a claim for compen12

Business Practices and

Consumer Protection
Act (BPCPA). He is
seeking a refund of the $340.40 he paid as a fuel surcharge
on an airfare of $870.20, and his argument is based on the
fact that the fuel fee was represented as a tax.
Since the fuel fee was collected and retained for use by
the airline itself, the carrier has misrepresented the fuel
surcharge as a tax payable to third party collectors, says
Poyner Baxter, the North Vancouver law firm that has
taken on the case. The implications for the airlines are
huge if Unlu is proven right.
Poyner Baxter has broadened the scope of the complaint to include other allegedly misrepresented fuel
surcharges, not just at Air Canada/Luft hansa. Proposed
class actions have thus commenced against British Air-

GiveGetGo clients’ legacy is a better world
By IAN STALKER
aurie Myles wants to put vacationing
Lwomen
Canadians to work. Myles is one of three
who last year started GiveGetGo,
which combines volunteer experiences
abroad with travel, and insists that type of
travel is rewarding for both the vacationers and those in the communities where the
holidaymakers lend a helping hand.
“Our volunteers become part of a team of fellow travellers and local community builders that create a rich
experience filled with laughter and unforgettable friendships,” says Myles, whose company now sends tourists to
Tanzania and Guatemala. “Many of our volunteers have
life-changing experiences on these trips that is felt and
shared by the whole group.
“Volunteers gain a first-hand understanding of the
people, culture and geography of the areas in which they
build and get a sense of living a different way of life.”
But Myles says Mississauga-based GiveGetGo isn’t a
“voluntourism” organization. “We are committed to creating a positive and sustainable impact on the countries and
communities we work within,” she maintains. “Our focus
is to build with projects that focus on education, health
and orphanages. In all projects, the volunteers will have
no doubt as to the substantial contribution and positive
impact they have made. Our projects are long term, allowing the volunteer to maintain a connection.”
GiveGetGo has been sending clients to the rural Tanzanian community of Majengo, where they’ve been building
living quarters at an orphanage and plans call for future
groups to help build more accommodations, along with a
soccer field and playground, library and a computer room.
The other current destination is Chimaltenango, Guatemala, where GiveGetGo clients have been helping add
classrooms to Melody School, which provides schooling to
poor youngsters from the community. “The impact of the
school on the community is evident, as Melody School’s
children can read and write by age six – an incredible feat
considering that only slightly more than 50% of the Guatemalan population is literate,” GiveGetGo says.
“Each partner works at their own skill and fitness level,”
Myles adds. “From framing, hammering, wall building
to sweeping and keeping the job safe. In situations where
10

0829PAGE09-10.indd 10
At the Majengo Orphanage in Tanzania
skilled labour is employed,
the tasks we perform
are often less skilled, as
we never want to take
jobs away from the local
community.”
Myles says that accommodations used by GiveGetGo
clients during the volunteer
portion of a trip are “of a
simpler style” than the rest
of the journey, with the
company shooting for “midscale” and making sure that
“safety, cleanliness and comfort are always paramount.
“The R&R accommodations are always good to
excellent, as we design this
portion as the reward for
giving back, while in the
volunteer stage,” she adds.
Tanzania itineraries
include a visit to a game
reserve, a Ngorongoro Crater safari, a stay at a luxury
Rift Valley photography
lodge and time at the beach
resort of Zanzibar.
Once the volunteer aspect
is completed in Guatemala,
participants on the 10-day
trip explore the colonial city
of Antigua and climb, hike
or bike in the surrounding
mountains and volcanoes.
GiveGetGo plans to begin
sending groups to India,
where they will help renovate a primary health centre
near New Delhi. Departures
are expected to begin in
early 2014.
Departures for Tanzania
and Guatemala are available
this year and next, and each
will have space for 12 to 14
participants.
Myles is confident that
helping make the world a
better place will be enriching
for all who do go on them,
adding they often bond not
only with those they are
helping but with their fellow
travellers as well.
“Many of our volunteers
have life-changing personal
experiences on these trips
that is felt and shared by the
whole group.”
