In partnership with the City of Regina and SGI, we are excited to bring back Agribition Express – the best way to get to the show!
Agribition Express is Canadian Western Agribition’s free bus shuttle service, with pick up/drop off locations at Northgate Mall, Southland Mall, and the Victoria Square Mall.
In addition to the free ride, guests who arrive at our show via Agribition Express will have their gate admission discounted to $13.00!
Agribition Express operates at bus stops located at the three mall locations:
Northgate Mall – 7th Ave N. @ Smith St.
Victoria Square Mall – Truesdale Dr. @ Quance St
Southland Mall – Gordon Rd. @ Rae St.
Busses run daily, every 30 minutes, from November 20 – 25 on the following schedule, which is the same for all three pickup locations:
10:00 am – 3:00 pm
4:30 pm – 7:30 pm
To further ease your experience, after our Freestyle Bullfighting event as well as each night of the Maple Leaf Finals Rode0 additional return busses from Agribition to the mall’s will be offered Tuesday November 21 – Saturday November 25 starting at 9:00 pm outside the Brandt Centre.
For anyone arriving to the show grounds prior to Tuesday, November 21, you will gain access to the grounds free without having to show any accreditation, courtesy of CWA’s partner, CN.
The ticket can be downloaded to your phone or printed prior to travelling to the show. Upon arrival, present the e-Pass to the gate attendant to scan for entry. What’s next? Head up to the International Business Centre (IBC) to pick up your registration package, which contains your 2023 Visitor’s Badge. This badge will be your multi-use gate pass for the duration of your visit to #CWA2023.
If you used the same email address to register more than one guest, you will receive a separate e-Pass email for each guest registered.
Each e-Pass contains a unique barcode that is validated when scanned at the gate. Once scanned, the barcode immediately becomes invalid for any subsequent entries. So, it’s important to stop by the IBC when you arrive at the show.
