Canoo to Other Provinces

For many Canoo members, the app offers something more: the opportunity to explore beyond their province of residence and discover all that Canada has to offer.

In 2023, thousands of Canoo members travelled outside their province of residence and visited Canoo venues across Canada.

As summer unfolds across Canada, it brings a vibrant array of outdoor activities, festivals, and gatherings. Naturally, Canoo visits peak in the summer months. Out-of-province visits follow a similar pattern, demonstrating Canoo’s popularity during the summer holidays when families can travel more easily.
