OTTAWA,
ON, Dec. 24, 2024 /CNW/ - NAV CANADA announced today that thanks to its
alert team and an unconventional but brilliant lighting solution,
Santa Claus is ready to depart safely from the North Pole Airport,
ensuring the safe, orderly and expeditious delivery of gifts.
The situation got complicated when the Green Grunch, in an act
of holiday mischief, stole the runway lights from the North Pole
International Airport. With visibility reduced to zero due to snow,
Christmas deliveries were at risk.
Fortunately, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, with his glowing
nose so bright, joined a team of dedicated technical experts at NAV
CANADA to restore the lighting
system in time for Santa's takeoff.
"This could have been a Christmas-trophe!" said Santa Claus,
speaking from his sleigh. "But thanks to NAV CANADA's brilliant team and Rudolph's reliable
red nose, we're back on schedule. I can't thank the team working
across the country over the holidays enough!"
Rudolph, who is now an honorary NAV CANADA technologist, said: "I'm always ready
to give a nose in times of need. The team at NAV CANADA was so efficient. I might even consider
a career in this organization, if they have carrots in the
lunchroom."
Mark Cooper, NAV CANADA's
President and CEO commented on this collaboration between the
company and Santa's team: "Our people take pride in ensuring the
safety and efficiency of all air travelers, and the priority
colourful packages being delivered by Santa Claus. You better watch
out, Santa is coming to town!"
At publication time, the Green Grunch was seen taking his shoes
off, which were apparently too tight. As the holiday spirit washed
over him, he was heard saying to himself "what I did was not right,
what if Santa's all right?"
The Nort Pole District Chief of Police, an elf that only goes by
"Gingerbread", said that while the Grunch's new predisposition
earned him a cup of hot cocoa, charges would still be laid.
