Saskatoon is in the middle of that Wouldn't it have been a more direct route to stay on the #1 trans Canada highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The numbers are applied only when they arrive at the OMC, as seen in my 2016 photo below. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really if by truck, as the Yellowhead pass is a much easier crossing (less grade, better clearances) than down south Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having just delivered a vehicle over the north shore of Lake Superior today...without show tires to boot, mine was puckered enough. And that’s child’s play compared to Highway 1.

Yeah I'm aware. They did have it in service by then (full-service testing I think) but pulled it out for what I heard was "computer related issues". Glad to see it back.

From the looks of it they moved all of their metro products under a single brand, the Innovia Metro brand has been discontinued but the actual product is still in production.
