There's gonna be about 100-ish Canadians crossing the border for D-Day this year, and we're not expecting any issues. We should be fine.

where would you be crossing into the states at?

Marauder_Pilot · 05-20-2008, 09:34 PM

Windsor or Niagara, most likely.

when do we have to give a definite answer by?

I'm still really watching this thread and trying to figure out a way to join you crazy people from Ontario.... I'm curious on the status myself.

Okay guys I asked for a quote from a bus charter that is local to me. The bus sizes vary but I asked for a quote on a 47 person charter leaving friday morning and leaving EMR at 5 p.m. sunday night. That will give us friday night, saturday's big game and the pump game on sunday. All of this is of course adjustable (meaning the times). I will post the cost when I receive the quote.

Fly WestJet into Toronto, I know they have seat sales a lot between the major cities. They've got a seat sale on right now that can net you a flight from Edmonton to Toronto for about $300, which is pretty good. I don't know how much it'd cost from Hinton to Edmonton, but I'm sure you've done that before anyways.

Sorry for the delay in response, I had a brain fart and forget I was looking into this! I did hear back from my mate, but he's out of the bus business so that nicked that idea. He did forward me onto a rep with his old company who was going to get a decent rate by declaring us a "non-profit" organization group. I haven't heard anything back yet, but I'll follow up with him on monday and see if i can get us a number and when we'd need an answer by!

Non-profit? Hell, with our collective tastes in markers, we're negative-profit!

I know my buddy would like to go to this, if this trip gets organized I'd be driving from NB to wherever the bus is in Ontario, so I'd probably have 2 extra seats for carpooling.
