On
Wednesday, November 11, GO Transit will pay tribute to the many men
and women who have served to protect Canada by offering war veterans
and a companion free, all-day travel on GO.
Veterans are asked to identify themselves by wearing their medals,
beret, blazer, uniform, or other similar belongings while
travelling. Immediate family members of deceased veterans may also
ride for free that day if carrying something to identify their
relations to the late veteran, such as service papers or an
identification card.
The Royal Canadian Legions will be selling poppies until November 11
at these GO stations: Danforth, Eglinton, Guildwood, Rouge Hill, Old
Cummer, Agincourt, Long Branch, Mimico, Dixie, Weston, Etobicoke
North, Milton, Erindale, Streetsville, Meadowvale, Lisgar, and East
Gwillimbury.
