Dreams Take Flight is a nationally registered charity run by volunteers from the Air Canada Family. Every year, eight chapters across Canada bring an airplane full of children to either Walt Disney World in Orlando or Disneyland in California. It's a one day, whirlwind adventure to the Happiest Place on Earth. Dreams Take Flight Atlantic delights children from all over Atlantic Canada. On April 13th, 2011, 140 deserving children will fly on an Air Canada Boeing 767 from Halifax to Orlando, Florida. And the Dream begins.

On December 16, 2010, Frank Howard, President of Capital Subaru, presented a gift of $100,000 to the Health Care Foundation's Give from the Heart Campaign. Mr. Howard's contribution is earmarked to assist in the purchase of new cardiac catheterization (cath) laboratory equipment for the General Hospital. 'The opportunity to give back to the community, especially to such a worthy cause, is one of the best parts of being in business,' said Mr. Howard. As a prominent and valued member of the provincial business community, Frank Howard's charitable work encompasses the areas of health, kid's programs and sport.

Frank Howard, President of the Capital Automotive Group, joined with Jon Howard of Capital Subaru and Paul Dyer of Capital Mitsubishi to present Kelly Leach, Executive Director of Big Brothers, Big Sisters, with a donation to the organization.

'Rally for the Kids' as it was so aptly named, raised an amazing $15,000 thanks to Driver Jon & his Co-pilot Paul.
