⚾ Blue Jays Night with the WestJet Component

⚾ UPDATE: Additional Tickets Sold Out - Add yourself to the waitlist!

Good news! Although tickets for the Toronto Blue Jays game on July 21, 2026 were previously sold out, we have reviewed the registration list and, due to cancellations, a number of tickets are now available.

These tickets will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the registration cap has been reached, the registration form will automatically stop accepting responses.


⚾ Loonie Dogs, Blue Jays Baseball, and Union Solidarity! 🌭

WestJet Component is bringing members and their families together for a Toronto Blue Jays game on July 21, 2026—and it's one of the fan-favourite Loonie Dogs Nights, making it the perfect opportunity to enjoy a great evening at the ballpark with fellow members.

Before the game, we'll gather in downtown Toronto to connect with the public, share information about our campaign, and demonstrate the strength and solidarity of WestJet Cabin Crew. Afterward, we'll head to Rogers Centre together to enjoy an exciting night of baseball while maintaining a visible presence in support of our bargaining priorities.

🎟️ Game tickets and union shirts will be provided to registered participants.

Tickets are limited and may sell out before the registration deadline. If you're interested in attending, we encourage you to register as soon as possible.

To ensure as many members as possible have the opportunity to participate, we respectfully ask that only members who are reasonably certain they can attend reserve tickets. Every ticket claimed is a ticket that cannot be offered to another member.

Event Schedule

  • 5:00 PM – Meet at Union Station

  • 5:30 PM – 7:00 PM – Public outreach and engagement

  • 7:07 PM – First pitch at Rogers Centre

Please also note an important change to the guest policy:

To ensure this union-funded event is focused on our members, attendance will now be limited to WestJet Cabin Crew Members only. You may bring a guest; however, your guest must be a WestJet Cabin Crew member. If you are registering with a guest, please provide their employee number(s) on the form.

Join us for a fun evening of baseball, solidarity, and union pride as we show the strength of WestJet Cabin Crew both inside and outside the ballpark.

Register today to reserve your spot! ⚾🎟️✈️🌭
