“With summer travel season just around the corner, we’re thrilled to offer Ontarians and visitors a convenient, sustainable way to reach some of the province’s best-loved beach towns,” said Karina Frayter, head of communications at Flix North America. “This route extension reflects our commitment to connecting more communities across Canada and giving travelers easy, budget-friendly access to top seasonal destinations.”
