The Municipality of Leamington will offer a transportation option for those attending events this summer.
The LTGO on-demand transit bus will extend its operating hours periodically during events in the Municipality, including the Mill Street Market, the On the 42 Summer Concert Series at the Sunset Amphitheatre, and Hogs for Hospice.
"We know parking can be challenging during special events, especially at our waterfront during concerts and the Hogs for Hospice weekend," said Leamington Mayor Hilda MacDonald. "We want residents to leave their cars at home and take our new convenient on-demand transit service to enjoy everything Leamington has to offer."
The extended transit hours are in place for the following events.
- Friday, June 17, 2022 – 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. for the Mill Street Market
