Thanksgiving is more than a holiday; it's a moment to pause, reflect, and share gratitude. It’s about celebrating kindness, community, and the joy of giving back. At Uride, we believe every small act of kindness can create a big impact. This Thanksgiving, through our Uride Good Deed Initiative, we set out to ensure the warmth and spirit of the season reached families who needed it most. A Small Ride, A Big Impact This year, every   Uride truly made a difference. A portion of

This July, Uride set out to do something simple, yet meaningful. We launched a kindness campaign with one goal in mind: to celebrate the people in our communities who go above and beyond every single day. The ones who show up, pitch in, lend a hand, and make the lives of others just a little bit better. We asked riders across Uride operating cities to nominate someone who inspires them through kindness. Someone who deserves a moment of recognition - not for being in the spotl

On Tuesday, June 24 , Uride launched a one-day initiative to turn everyday trips into real-world impact. From 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. , every ride taken helped support reforestation efforts across Canada — and the response was incredible. Thanks to every single rider  who took a trip that day, more than 5,000 trees  are now being planted to help restore wildfire-affected areas. Why It Matters Canada is facing one of the worst wildfire seasons on record. Millions of hectares of fores

Supporting Animal Shelters Across Canada for National Rescue Dog Day This month, Uride is wagging its tail for a cause close to our hearts - supporting local animal shelters  in honour of National Rescue Dog Day  (May 20th). Rescue dogs are the ultimate ride-or-die companions, and this May, we’re saying thank you to the amazing shelters that save and care for them every day. We’ve made donations to 22 animal shelters across Canada  to support their mission of rescuing, rehabi

Every month at Uride, we look for ways to give back to the communities we serve. This April, we dedicated our Good Deed initiative to one of the most important acts of civic engagement: voting . On April 28, 2025 , Canadians across the country headed to the polls to cast their vote—and we wanted to do our part to make sure getting there wasn’t a challenge. That’s why we offered free rides (up to $10)  to polling stations in every Uride city, helping people exercise their righ

At Uride, we believe in creating meaningful impact—not just through the rides we provide but by giving back to the communities we serve. This International Women’s Day, we’re proud to support organizations that uplift and empower women in need. Across Canada, countless shelters and support services work tirelessly to provide safety, resources, and hope to women facing challenges. This month, as part of our Good Deed Program, we are making donations to these vital organization

This winter is shaping up to be one of the harshest we’ve seen in recent years. Frigid temperatures, biting winds, and heavy snowfall have made life challenging for everyone, but it’s especially tough for those without proper winter clothing or access to warm shelter. At Uride, we believe in supporting the communities we serve, and that’s why we’re stepping up to make a difference during this challenging season. For many, winter can bring a sense of joy and togetherness, but

At Uride, our commitment to community service goes beyond offering reliable rides—we're dedicated to spreading joy, especially during the holiday season. This December, we're delighted to launch "Santas on the Move," a heartwarming initiative where our drivers don Santa suits to deliver toys and holiday cheer to children in need across the communities we serve. Spreading Holiday Cheer One Ride at a Time Our drivers, our very own Santas, are hitting the roads with a sleigh ful

At Uride, we’ve always been committed to making a difference in the communities we serve. This November, we’re proud to launch a new initiative to raise awareness about an important cause: men’s mental and physical health . While Men's Day often goes unnoticed, it’s an opportunity to reflect on the unique challenges men face—challenges like mental health struggles, prostate cancer, and testicular cancer. These are not just statistics; they’re the lived experiences of fathers,

At Uride, our dedication to community service extends beyond providing safe, reliable and affordable rides—we believe in giving back to the communities that support us.

This September, Uride is taking action against hunger in a direct and impactful way. In recognition of Hunger Action Month, we're mobilizing our resources and community to address food insecurity, one of the most pressing issues affecting our communities. Our drivers will be purchasing and donating groceries to local food banks across the cities we operate in, ensuring that those in need have access to nutritious food. Nourishing Our Communities Food insecurity can affect any

At Uride, our commitment extends beyond the roads we travel. It's about supporting and uplifting the communities we are part of. This August, our Good Deeds Program takes a heartfelt turn towards some of the most resilient members of our communities—women and children in shelters.

We are dedicating our efforts to support senior centers across Canada, ensuring that they continue to offer a safe, engaging, and supportive environment for our el

At Uride, we believe in making a positive impact through our rides. This June, we're focusing on mental health with our "Ride for a Reason" initiative. We will be donating 10% of all ride fares on June 27th to support mental health programs across the country. Why Mental Health? Mental health is a crucial part of overall well-being, affecting how we think, feel, and act. Despite its importance, many people struggle with mental health issues in silence due to stigma and lack

This April, Uride is celebrating Earth Day in a way you wood-n't believe with our "Ride for a Reason" initiative. On April 22nd, we're turning every trip into trees. In partnership with the innovative Canadian company Flash Forest , we pledge to plant a tree for every Uride taken on Earth Day. Why Trees? Our homeland is breathtaking, but it's facing a fiery challenge, wildfires are consuming an average of 2.5 million hectares a year across Canada. These aren't just numbers; t
