The CNE

This year, the CNE runs from August 19 to September 5. It's a fun Toronto tradition, offering something for everyone. For more information on the CNE, visit www.theex.com.  

For GO passengers travelling with smaller children: We ask that you travel with strollers that can easily be stowed rather than bulky strollers or wagons and please avoid using the accessibility car (5th coach). With so many people using GO, space is limited and smaller strollers will help make it a comfortable and safe ride for everyone.
