Grocery buses run twice a month from September to April and once every month from May to August!
Limited spots are available, so sign up to save your seat on the bus. Drop in will be available if there are last-minute seats left. Masks are strongly encouraged, but not required while on the bus.
Fall sign ups are now open! The Grocery Bus leaves campus at 10AM on:
September 7 & 21
October 5 & 19
November 2, 16 & 30
December 14
Where does the bus go?
The grocery bus program picks students up at the taxi drop off in front of the HUB/LRT entrance (next to the bus loop) — look for the big yellow school bus!
The bus will drop you off at the Superstore on Gateway Boulevard, Walmart, T&T Supermarket or at some Specialty Stores on 34th Avenue (Spice Centre, Halal Meat Shops, etc). We will then bring you and your groceries back to campus. This is a great way to stock up on groceries and meet new people!
