GO Transit values the sacrifice of our war veterans. It’s an honour to recognize your valour, and we’d like to show our gratitude by offering you and one companion free transportation to this year’s Warriors’ Day Parade at the CNE on Saturday, August 21, 2010.  

The Warriors’ Day Parade is the longest running veterans parade in the free world and has been a part of the CNE since 1921. The parade will start at 10:30 a.m. at the Princes' Gates and continue down Princes' Blvd. Further information about the Warriors' Day Parade can be found at www.thewarriorsdayparade.ca.  

You and one companion may ride free. Please wear your medals, beret, blazer, uniform, or something else that clearly identifies you as a war veteran.  

The immediate families of deceased veterans may also ride free. Please make sure you carry something to identify your relation to the deceased veteran, such as an identification card or service papers.

Do you have any travel tips for GOing to the EX?

Additional passenger volumes can be expected for the duration of the CNE at all Lakeshore line stations and at Exhibition station in particular. We recommend that you arrive at least 15-20 minutes before your train departs for extra time to purchase tickets and to board the train. It is also recommended that you purchase two-ride tickets, a day pass or a group pass, when applicable, to avoid lining up again on your way home.

Do I have to pay to go to Ontario Place?

No. CNE admission only includes grounds admission to Ontario Place and does not include the cost of rides or other Ontario Place attractions. Please contact Ontario Place for details at 416-314-9900 or visit www.ontarioplace.com.

If I have an Ontario Place admission do I still have to pay to go to the CNE?

If you have purchased a Canadian Family Play All Summer Pass, then this will give you free admission to the CNE grounds. This is the only pass that allows you free admission to the CNE but does not include access to the rides as they must be paid for separately.

I have tickets for a show at the Molson Amphitheatre at Ontario Place. Do I have to pay for admission to the CNE?

Is there a shuttle bus service from Union Station to the CNE?
