Wear your Olympic gear to support Manitoba Day at the Winter Games Feb 24, 2010

February 25th is Manitoba Day at Vancouver Winter Olympics and Paralympic Winter Games and we’re planning to wear our support at Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport

WINNIPEG – February 23, 2010 – Winnipeg Airports Authority Inc. encourages employees and travelers to wear
their Olympic wear on Thursday, February 25th. In support of Manitoba Day at Vancouver Winter Olympics and
Paralympic Winter Games!

AND, to help you get dressed in specially branded Olympic wear, airport retailer HDS Retail North America is
offering 25% off all Olympic wear at Front Page Sports and all Canadian Scene & Relay locations beginning
this week.

“Wearing Olympic wear on Manitoba Day is one way our community can engage in the games,” said Barry
Rempel, President & CEO of Winnipeg Airports Authority Inc. “The airport has witnessed those departing and
arriving from Vancouver and certainly a buzz is in the air as Canada prepares for the women’s gold-medal
hockey game.”

Front Page Sports and Canadian Scene & Relay have locations on the 2nd floor pre-security and are open 7
days a week. For fans departing to the United States, Relay’s transborder store is located post-security. At
each location, Olympic fans can choose from a variety of Olympic and Team Canada wear and receive a
discount.

Airport campus employees wearing Olympic clothing on February 25th can enter a draw for a specially
designed Olympic Pak which includes a Vancouver 2010 Olympic and Paralympics Winter Coin Collection and
$50.00 gift certificate for Front Page Sports. Campus employees can enter at Winnipeg Airports Authority’s
reception with the draw being held on Friday, February 26th.

Winnipeg Airports Authority is a non-share capital corporation responsible for the management and operation
of Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport and affiliate businesses. All net income is
reinvested by WAA back into the community, primarily through airport development projects. WAA is self
sufficient with taxpayers not directly involved in financing airport site redevelopment which is being paid
through Airport Improvement Fees (AIF).

Winnipeg Airports Authority serves our region by providing value to our customers and community. A source of
pride for our community, we strive to be a leader in its growth and development.
