| The Transit Relay's route begins in [[Toronto]] on a Sunday morning at 7:00 AM. The inaugural leg sees [[User:SGuySMW|SMW]] and his team ride a [[Union Pearson Express]] train to [[Toronto Pearson International Airport]], where they will board [[Porter Airlines]] flight 441, operated by an [[Embraer 195]], to [[British Columbia]]'s provincial capital of [[Victoria, British Columbia|Victoria]]. Following the first exchange of the baton, teams will cross all of Canada's provinces before ending up at the easternmost tip of [[Newfoundland and Labrador]] at its provincial capital of [[St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador|St. John's]]. SMW doesn't really like waking up way too early so he'll have to book a hotel at Toronto for the night before.
| |
| | |
| Initially, Day 2's route was to go from the Butchart Gardens to Tofino, but scheduling limitations saw it as a good opportunity for the UTR to slowly warm things up instead of going full throttle right off the bat.
