What to Expect at Line 5 opening celebration
Whether you’re a daily commuter, a local resident, or a transit enthusiast, there’s something for everyone to enjoy:
- Vendor Marketplace: Browse local businesses and artists from across Eglinton Avenue at station-branded booths representing each business’s “home station.” (Full vendor list is coming soon!)
- Line 5 Giveaways: Pick up exclusive Line 5 keepsakes, including kids’ activity books, stickers, pins, magnets, pens, collectible LRT vehicle cutouts, and commemorative maps.
- Live Local Entertainment: Enjoy live music and performances showcasing talented artists and entertainers from communities along the Line 5 route.
- TTC Pop-Up Shop and Info Booth: Stop by to chat with TTC team members, and shop for some amazing souvenirs from our supply of official TTC merchandise.
Backpack and School Supplies Drive
TTC’s annual Backpack Drive is back to help students and families prepare for the new school year!
Help local students get off to a strong start this school year. Bring a new backpack, school supplies, or both to support children and youth in need across our communities. As a special thank you, donors will receive an exclusive commemorative Line 5 coin.
