Edmonton Transit Riders Official Launch Party!
Hello, Edmontonians! Are you passionate about improving public transit in the city? You're invited to the Edmonton Transit Riders Official Launch Party!
Come meet our board and learn about our grassroots non-profit organization, and connect with special guests and other like-minded individuals.
Please arrive at Stadium Station on the west platform, by 11:30 a.m. sharp! A charter train will pick us up (so don’t be late!), taking us on an exclusive ride to the fully built, but not yet open, Blatchford Gate Metro Line Station.
Once at the Blatchford Gate Station, you’ll enjoy food and beverage while exploring the new station, mingling with others and getting to know our board, before we head back on the train to Stadium Station.
Thanks to our sponsors, this event is FREE, but we ask that you RSVP here to secure your seat and to help us prepare for the event.
We encourage you to take public transit to the event, arriving by train or bus, however bike and vehicle parking is also available at Stadium Station. The platforms and trains are wheelchair accessible. Accessible public washrooms are available at Stadium Station, but are not available at the Blatchford Gate Station.
If you have any questions about the event, please reach out to Cheryl Villetard, at cheryl@edmontontransitriders.org.
We can’t wait to celebrate with you!
A special shout out to our sponsors for this event!
