Trip tips:
- Unless indicated otherwise, all of our bus trips depart from Agincourt Mall at the north-west corner of Sheppard Ave. and Kennedy Rd.
- You must pick up a parking pass from the trip facilitator and display it on your car's dashboard.
- Meet west of Wal-Mart — in the Scotiabank / Pet Valu area. Look for the Pacific Western/Mary Morton Bus…
- Please park in the area in front of Scotiabank / Pet Valu.
- Please arrive 10-15 minutes ahead of departure time.
- For reservations, please send the program coupon with your cheque made payable to: Retired Teachers of Ontario — District 24.
- Cheques for our events are not usually deposited until the trip is confirmed. Don't despair when we hold your cheque.
- Suggestion: Post-date your cheque to the deadline date of the activity.
- If both you and the facilitator have e-mail, you can choose to have your confirmation e-mailed to you, saving you time and the cost of an envelope and postage. Check the appropriate line on the coupon. Then mail the coupon with your cheque.
- If you or the facilitator does not have e-mail, you must enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope.
- You will receive confirmation for your event: by e-mail, return envelope, or telephone when the facilitator is ready.
- Unless noted otherwise, our trips are "all inclusive": lunch, bus transportation, tickets (where applicable), taxes and gratuities.
