    Arrival guide

    Pearson or Waterloo Airport?

    Parents from overseas land at Pearson, about 45 minutes from Waterloo Region. Many families don't know they can be ticketed right through to Waterloo.

    Ticket through to YKF

    On Air Canada, the Landline coach links Pearson and Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) in about 65 to 80 minutes, with bags checked through.

    An airport built for older travellers

    YKF is one of four Canadian airports with Rick Hansen Foundation Gold accessibility certification.

    GO train option

    GO trains run from Union Station to Kitchener GO Station.

    Coverage from Pearson

    The policy must start the day your parent lands at Pearson, not the day they reach Kitchener.

    Do you have an office near Kitchener?

    Yes. Our Cambridge office at 206-460 Hespeler Road is a short drive away. Please book a visit by phone or WhatsApp first.

    Is it still Grand River Hospital or St. Mary's?

    Will WRHN bill my parents' insurer directly?

    Can my parents ride GRT for free?

    During the pilot to January 5, 2027, riders 65+ get one free day a week through the GRT Pay app after age verification. It isn't confirmed whether visitors can verify their age in the app.
