Travel Committee member the day of the trip. Remember to bring Ontario Proof of Vaccination* with the
QR code on it and government-issued identification showing name and date of birth.
Refund Policy: This trip is NON-REFUNDABLE; doctor’s certificates will not be accepted. You will
not receive a refund if you are denied bus entrance due to a positive COVID-19 screening and/or do not
present Ontario Proof of Vaccination* with QR code and government-issued identification. Should there be
a mandatory provincial shutdown due to COVID-19 or GWSA cancels the trip due to lack of participation,
all participants will receive a full refund to their method of payment.
Don’t Wait! That means booking your trip before the trip must be cancelled due to low participation.
It takes time to put these trips together and we need your commitment to make these trips happen! The
Travel Committee must give the number of bookings by Friday, April 1, and, if there are not enough
reservations at that time, the trip will be cancelled!
Parking: Please do not park your vehicles in the Evergreen parking lot while you are on a day trip.
Vehicles must be left at the Carousel parking area in Riverside Park where you will board the bus. This
allows for other members to have a place to park when they come throughout the day.
Accessibility: (1) Please inquire about accessible seating prior to booking your ticket. As with all
buses, accessible seating is limited. You can help us ensure that we use this seating as efficiently as possible
by providing information about your assistive device. Please note that: Travellers who will be using a
powered wheelchair on trips are advised to note this when registering. While our trips are accessible,
seating for a powered wheelchair on the bus is limited and will be spoken for on a first-come first-serve
basis. We cannot accommodate scooters on the buses. Travellers who can transfer to a bus seat may have
their collapsible, manual wheelchair or walker stored in the cargo area of the bus if required.
Lift Limit: 500 lbs maximum weight (wheelchair and person combined) Lift Width: 32 inches
(2) Travellers with a disability, who require assistance during the trip, must be accompanied by a person
who is fully capable of rendering such assistance (this person must be an adult - cost for this person will be
the price posted).
PROCEDURES FOR BOOKING THIS TRIP: All participants will be required to have a current
GWSA membership and present their Ontario Proof of Vaccination with QR code on it along with
government-issued identification showing name and date of birth to board the bus, and to gain entrance to
establishments on the trip. If your membership needs renewal, please see the front desk staff at the
Centre. The contact list is available on the GWSA website located on the Trips, Travel and Tours page. If
you are unable to print this form, copies will be available from a Travel Committee member the day of the
trip.
Scanning and verifying the QR code through the Verify Ontario app is now the accepted proof of
vaccination or medical exemption - the QR code may be scanned either from the member’s electronic
device or from their paper printout that includes a QR code - vaccination receipts without QR codes will
not be accepted. * The GWSA IPP Access Card can no longer be accepted as proof of vaccination. Please
see the Trip, Travel and Tours page on the GWSA website for specific instructions.
