Let’s Go Group

The LRTA is offering an opportunity to all BCRTA members who are interested in "going places and doing things".

It is always more fun and often less money to have one or more friends share in an activity whether it be going to the movies, sharing a cruise ship cabin, touring, or planning an adventure. Fall is coming and there are so many roads to travel and events to attend.

 Let’s Go June 2017 Report

Since the new year, Let’s Go members have had many opportunities to participate in a variety of enjoyable local experiences.  These experiences included a number of "Live from the Met" Opera productions at the Colossus theatre, the Cavalier Odysseo production, a Mystery Tour, the Shangra La/ West Coast Express trip, the Whistler Fairmont Spring Celebration, and a day trip to the Sunshine Coast.  

Members also travelled to Cuba, Iceland, Japan and Alaska.

Adventures big and small are planned for the rest of the year.  They include a trip to the Maritimes, a rail trip across Canada, and Haida Gwaii as well as local day trips to Bowen Island and Galiano Island.

Let’s Go members are invited to meet monthly at the Langley School Board office for conversation, coffee, and trip planning. 

The June 21st meeting, however, will be in Fort Langley.  You are invited to join us for coffee at Mangia e Scappa 23238 Mavis Ave at 10:00.  After coffee we plan to explore Fort Langley and then have lunch.  If you wish to join us, email Judy at  [email protected]

If you wish to be on the "Let’s Go" list to receive information about upcoming events just email

The LRTA Let’s Go group is open to all BCRTA members and provides services to BCRTA members.  BCRTA members are given the opportunity and are invited to participate in many different activities in their community and beyond.  

These opportunities are discussed and agreed upon at a monthly gathering at the Langley School Board Office.  These opportunities are circulated to all Let’s Go members via email and put on the LRTA Website for all BCRTA members to access.  


Let’s Go offers:

  • an invitation to share experiences and make new friends.  
  • a monthly gathering over coffee to discuss community events and travel
  • a monthly opportunity to go for lunch with other retired LRTA members
  • a place to find a travel companion to share a cabin or hotel accommodation
  • a chance to see local theatre productions with others
  • an invitation to join others for fun and fitness at the Blair Pool at 8:00 or 9:00 am most days of the week
  • an opportunity to see movies, concerts and other community events with others
  • a chance to explore the area on group day tours with a reliable company (somebody else drives and parks)
  • an opportunity to revisit places visited years ago 
  • an opportunity to take overnight or longer group excursions with a reliable company
  • a chance to travel far and wide with other LRTA members
  • an invitation for a spouse or friend who wishes to travel with an LRTA member 
  • this member service to B.C.R.T.A. members across the province.  

This service is provided free to members and members are under no obligation.  Let’s Go uses the unique services of Enjoy Tours which has a vast selection of trips of various lengths.  Enjoy Tours will set up transportation from home to the bus pick up, if needed.  Enjoy Tours has a great rating on Trip Advisor. Enjoy Tours has caring, friendly, qualified staff.  Enjoy Tours is affiliated with R.R. Smith Memorial Fund Foundation, a charity established by the B.C.R.T.A.  Using Enjoy Tours for members is a WIN WIN WIN situation.  Members win because they have these trip opportunities. R.R. Smith wins because Enjoy Tours makes a donation every time a B.C.R.T.A. / R.R. Smith member books a trip (make sure your tell them).  Enjoy Tours wins because their business is promoted, their seats are filled and they build their business so they can afford to provide service to our members.
