The Regional Municipality of York will honour Canadian war veterans this Warriors' Day by offering free YRT service to war veterans and immediate family members of deceased veterans on Saturday, August 16, 2025.

Veterans and one companion are free to travel all day, system-wide without charge. Veterans can identify themselves to YRT and On-Request operators by showing any of the following items: uniforms, medals, berets or blazers.

The immediate family of a deceased veteran may also ride free by carrying something that identifies their relationship to the deceased veteran, such as an identification card or service papers.
