​​​​​​BRAMPTON, ON — On Saturday, August 22, 2026, Brampton Transit will offer free, all-day transit service to Canadian War Veterans (former members of the Canadian Armed Forces) and one companion to travel to and from the Warriors' Day Parade in Toronto.

A Veteran may be identified by presenting a Brampton Transit “War Veteran Pass” or any of the following items:

• Medals
• Berets
• Uniform
• Blazer
• By producing a “War Veteran Pass” or service papers
  

This year will be the 105th celebration of The Warriors’ Day Parade, and focuses on “Supporting Our Veterans Since the First World War”. First held in 1921, the parade is a long-standing tradition that honours Veterans, active military personnel, their families, and the public for their service and contributions.

Brampton City Council and Brampton Transit remain committed to honouring the achievements and sacrifices of Canadian Armed Forces members through the Brampton Transit Veteran Pass Program. Veterans living in Brampton can ride Brampton Transit for free by showing their valid Brampton Transit Veteran Pass upon boarding. ​
