Chi-Cheemaun - Travel In Good Spirits

The Owen Sound Transportation Company invites passengers to mark the holiday in true Canadian style on July 1.

Owen Sound, ON — The Owen Sound Transportation Company (OSTC) is making waves this summer with a festive Canada Day celebration aboard the iconic MS Chi-Cheemaun.

On Tuesday, July 1, 2025, passengers are invited to join us onboard to honour Canada’s birthday. Each sailing will include a Canada-themed trivia handout and giveaways. Enjoy 30% off all gift store items onboard, and don’t miss out on our special Canada Day menu in our dining area. The afternoon sailings will include live entertainment and a slice of celebratory cake. Capture your time onboard with our Canada Day selfie-frame and tag us @Chi-Cheemaun. It’s the perfect opportunity to mark the holiday with scenic views, joyful music, and the pride of sailing aboard a Canadian-built ship. The MS Chi-Cheemaun, a marvel of engineering, was crafted in Collingwood, Ontario, by the skilled hands at Collingwood Shipyards.

Walk-on passengers will also be able to bring a guest onboard the MS Chi-Cheemaun for free during all Canada Day sailings. This offer is available by calling our Reservation Line at 1-800-265-3163 or in person at the terminal. Calling ahead of time will avoid long line-ups inside the ferry terminals. Parking is $10 daily at terminals.
