The holidays are here! It’s the time of year to connect with friends and family, spread cheer, champion kindness and generosity, show gratitude, and reflect. So, this year, we asked employees across the TransLink enterprise to share what they’re looking forward to the most this holiday season and what their holiday tradition is.

This December, celebrations across cultures include Christmas (Christian – Europe), Hanukkah (Jewish), Las Posadas (Mexico), Soyal (Winter Solstice for select Indigenous nations), Yule (Winter Solstice for Pagans), Kwanzaa (African diasporta), Bodhi Day (Buddhist), and Omisoka (Japanese) to name a few.

While the holidays we celebrate may vary, there a few common themes: we love eating or serving our specialty food and drinks, seeing holiday lights, doing winter activities like skating, and most of all, being present with family and friends.

We are here to help make it happen.
