Feel Free to Celebrate Canada Day!

KITIMAT – On Canada Day you can ride transit for free. BC Transit and the District of Kitimat are encouraging everyone to enjoy a safe and happy holiday by taking a “free ride” on July 1, 2012 from 10 am until 6 pm.

Kitimat Transit will be offering Sunday service levels with a couple of minor changes. Route #3 Kildala will not travel to the Riverlodge parking lot. Customers are asked to catch the bus on Columbia Boulevard instead.

Route #1A Whitesail, on the noon run only, will head directly up Lahakas Boulevard (not via Tsimshiam/Wakashan)

BC Transit hopes our Kitimat customers take advantage of the free service to watch the Kitimat Kinsmen Club Canada Day Parade at noon or simply to spend time with family and friends.

Customers who ride route #2 Nechako will see some changes on Saturday, June 30, 2012 because of the Fourth Annual Memorial Hill Climb. Transit runs to Albatross Avenue will be suspended until 8:30 pm. BC Transit customers in that area are asked catch route #2 on Lahakas, Gyrfalcon or Kingfisher.
