TransLink's Next Stop is the #VancouverComeBack

Our #VancouverComeBack campaign is getting a lift from one of our brand new partnerships! TransLink is now on board to help bring locals and visitors from across the province to Vancouver’s favourite restaurants, attractions, and hospitality businesses. With a Safe Operating Action Plan (SOAP) in place, they’re working hard to help riders visit you again easily, reliably, and safely. 

To keep this new momentum rolling, we have created #VancouverComeBack Travel Safe Packs, in partnership with TransLink, complete with exclusive #VancouverComeBack masks, hand sanitizer, and transit day passes, to help locals and visitors alike safely explore our city. 

If any members would like to provide complimentary product gift cards, we may be able to use them in the campaign Travel Safe Packs as ‘Surprise & Delight’ giveaways or for contesting through social media. It's a fantastic way to support all the spots that make Vancouver home (including your own).

Deadline to submit is September 8th. Recommended value of at least $50.
