On Train Launch Party for Canada Line Adventures

Dozens ride the train together in as part of the ‘On Train Party’ to Celebrate the Release of the New Transit Guide: Canada Line Adventures!
On Sunday March 28th, more than 60 people from toddlers to seniors, came together to ride the Canada Line from Waterfront to Richmond and YVR airport to celebrate the launch of Canada Line Adventures.  This innovative pocket transit guide features nine categories of interest for each of the neighbourhoods surrounding Canada Line stations. 

Riders gathered together to play games and sing songs about Canada Line, celebrate public transit and pick up their copy of the guide.  The event was well received by the riding public, a number of riders even joined in on the games along their journey.

At the airport, the group left the train to take a short tour of First Nations art on display and visit the new Public Observation Area. After returning to Vancouver on the train, the party finished at the Langara Golf Course Clubhouse, a great find in the middle of Vancouver and one of the many restaurants, cafes or bars featured in the guide.

“What a great way to celebrate a transit guide.  We should do parties on the train every weekend.” Barry, party attendee.
 
“What a blast.  Great idea!”  Jane, party attendee.
