AS EASY AS RIDING A BIKE
I’ve been a Member for years and have enjoyed the peace of mind that CAA brings. I was pleased to see Bike Assist as part of our membership as I’m an avid outdoor cyclist. Last summer, I was out for ride on a hot sunny day when I blew a tire. I had no one to pick me up and I was too far from home to walk, so it was the perfect opportunity to try the Bike Assist program. After a short call to help the driver locate my whereabouts, a tow truck showed up. Once my bike was secured, I was on my way home in an air-conditioned vehicle, drinking from a cold bottle of water, courtesy of my driver. Thank you, CAA, for saving the day! –Ross O.
IN IT FOR THE LONG HAUL
I have been a Member since moving to Canada over 60 years ago. My husband had a membership until he passed in 2014, which was when I took over. Our home and car have always been insured with CAA and we also used CAA for our health insurance, which I keep up every year. Thanks again for the great service! –Alice H.
CALM AND COLLECTED
Last winter, I slid off the road and hit a roadside barrier. The vehicle was damaged and stuck, but I stayed calm because I knew I had CAA Roadside Assistance. Within 20 minutes of my call, a tow truck arrived. The driver was very professional, doing his job quickly while keeping me warm and safe inside the tow truck. This made a very unfortunate and stressful situation into a pleasurable experience. Thank you for your amazing services and rewards. –John L.
BOOKED AND BUSY
Being a busy mom of four with a CAA Membership has been a life saver! Thanks, CAA, for making sure we are never stranded. –Anna W.
STRONG LANGUAGE
I’m writing to thank you for the wonderful article titled “Words to Live by” by Sara Kae, which celebrates the revitalization of Indigenous languages in communities and shares information about opportunities across the country for this re-learning. It’s very important to learn about this good work and celebrate these efforts. I was particularly happy to see this article in a car-centred, travel-centred magazine — presented as a part of all Canadian lives, which it is. –Carolyn C.
