Playlist and EcoPass

For information on the Ecopass that we talked about, see below:
WAM and Saskatoon Transit Services are launching Saskatoon's new EcoPass on April 20th from 3-5 p.m. at City Hall. The price of the EcoPass, an annual transit pass, will fall as more people buy in; it promotes collective action by encouraging people to sign up friends, neighbours, and co-workers to lower the cost for everyone. Since the event at City Hall will be the first of dozens of office parties throughout downtown (and eventually SIAST, the Saskatoon Health Region, etc.), WAM will have signed up thousands of people by the end of the summer! Please contact us at if your office would like to invite WAM to host an EcoPass party.
