Did you try carpooling this month?

Congratulations to our Carpool Group Contest winners Kristina Rostorotsky (MMM Group) and Vivek Sharma (Town of Markham)! Carpooling three days a week to and from Midtown Toronto to work near Leslie and Hwy. 7, in Markham, they have benefited from using a HOV lane and sharing gas costs, while telling jokes and laughing along the way.
