Party Shuttle for ECE Week & Award Celebration

Note: You must be logged in to your ECDA account to register.

Start the celebration early, take the Party Shuttle!

We are excited to offer a Party Shuttle for the ECE Week & Award Celebration on Saturday, February 7th, transporting members from Stratford to the Credit Union Place in Summerside, with pick-up and drop-off stops in Charlottetown, Hunter River, and Kensington.

This is not your average bus ride. The shuttle experience will kick off celebrations early with music, games, prizes, and high energy all the way to Summerside.

Important: Due to elevated rental costs, the shuttle will only be available if a minimum of 40 participants register.

Ticket Cost (Roundtrip Only)

  • $20 - Stratford, Charlottetown, or Hunter River
  • $10 - Kensington

Note: One-way tickets are not available.

If you’re looking for a quiet ride,  this one’s not for you! The music will be loud, the games will be lively, and the prizes will be flying!

Pick-Up & Drop-Off Locations

  • Stratford: TBD
  • Charlottetown: Kay’s Wholesale (old Sears) parking lot
  • Hunter River: TBD
  • Kensington: Mike’s Your Independent Grocer parking lot

As this shuttle service is being offered on a trial basis, we have selected central pick-up and drop-off locations for this year’s celebration. This approach allows us to assess interest and feasibility for future shuttle options. If you would like to see shuttle service expanded to additional regions in the future, or offered during conferences, please share your thoughts by email to [email protected].
