Proud to be part of the Canadian team helping shape global accessibility efforts at @Uber.

Learn more about our new service animal Self-ID feature — a step forward in inclusive mobility. #OneUber

[Uber Canada @Uber_Canada]

We’re working to create a more inclusive experience - trip by trip.

With our new Self-ID feature, riders with service animals can choose whether they want to notify rideshare drivers within the Uber app that they’re travelling with a service animal.

There’s always more work to do, but grateful to @CNIB for helping us develop and test this optional feature.

Loved spending time with so many incredible Banffers this week at the 2025 @calgarystampede!

Thanks to @jkenney & @joseph_lougheed for speaking at the @banffforum #Calgary City Event!

Grateful as well to our 2025 #BanffForum presenting sponsors @Meta, @Uber & @Netflix_CA!

Well done, @chrisevelyn85! Honoured to have worked with you on the Hill and to call you a friend. Your impact across multiple portfolios—gender equality, social development, and rural economic development—has shaped Canada for the better. Thank you! 🇨🇦

[Uber @Uber]

Uber is committed to building technology that supports accessibility for all. And today, we’re excited to launch a new feature designed for riders with service animals in the U.S. and Canada 🚗🐕‍🦺

This #BlackHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating those who are moving the culture forward. Here’s to the drivers, passengers, restaurants, and patrons making tomorrow’s Black history today.

[Uber Canada @Uber_Canada]

We joined @1800222TIPS and @TorontoPolice tonight on their holiday RIDE check in downtown Toronto to remind people to not drive impaired. We are proud supporters of @maddcanada.

No matter how you get home, Uber is supportive of all rides that get you there safely. Having safe, affordable, and convenient transportations options like rideshare gives Toronto residents more ways to choose a sober ride.

[Yanique Williams @YaniqueWilliams]

We love to see it! 🎉 Congrats @PauletteSenior1 on your well-deserved appointment to the Senate! Your tireless dedication to gender equality has already made an important impact on Canadians. Here's to continued advocacy and more positive change ahead. #Leadership #GenderEquality

[Marci Ien @MarciIen]

.@PauletteSenior1, you are a community builder. Your focus on building more inclusive spaces for women and girls makes our country better. You have such a powerful voice and I know you will bring that passion to the Senate of Canada. Congratulations!

Elected officials should solve problems - not create them.

@oliviachow's arbitrary rideshare cap will lead to higher wait times and higher prices, which is challenging for all Toronto residents but particularly punitive to those in #Scarborough whose only form of rapid transit shuttered in July.

Thread 🧵👇

Today, @BCGovNews tabled a bill that’s a first step towards protecting the flexibility and independence of drivers & delivery people while offering benefits and protections tailored to the work that they do.

This comes after the lengthy consultation process that engaged thousands of drivers and delivery people over the last two years. 1/x

It was a thrill to have our General Manager of @UberEats Canada, Lola Kassim, host @AM34, one of the best players in the @NHL, an honourary Torontonian, and an @Uber One member, at our Uber Canada headquarters in Toronto last week. We got to know him a little better, hear about his favourite Toronto restaurants and places to visit, and what it takes to be a leader and work as a team on and off the ice. #GoLeafsGo

[Andrew Macdonald @andrewgordonmac]

This is a bad outcome for Toronto, and misguided policy

Restricting supply of something that consumers need badly (in this case, reliable, safe, affordable transportation) is not good for the city. See housing

[Justin Trudeau @JustinTrudeau]

Let me make one thing very clear: Transphobia, homophobia, and biphobia have no place in this country. We strongly condemn this hate and its manifestations, and we stand united in support of 2SLGBTQI+ Canadians across the country – you are valid and you are valued.

September is National #GuideDogAccessAwarenessMonth, honouring the important role that guide dogs play as partners in independence for people who are blind or partially sighted.

Today marks 189 years since the abolition of slavery in the British empire.

On August 1st, known to many as #EmancipationDay, we celebrate Black resistance & reflect on the destructive, lasting legacy that the slave trade has had on Canadian society.

I’m looking forward to future events as we continue to strengthen our network and create more opportunities for growth and collaboration within the tech industry.

[Yanique Williams @YaniqueWilliams]

As we close out the Month of July and we embark on observing Emancipation Month, I’m reflecting on the inaugural Black Renaissance: Navigating Being Black in Tech Event held earlier this month at the @Uber Canada Head Office.

[Yanique Williams @YaniqueWilliams]

It was an incredible evening that brought together Black at ERG members from @Uber, @Google, @Shopify, @autodesk, @SalesforceCA, and @SlackHQ fostering a sense of unity and empowerment within our community.

Uber is officially here!! 🚀 @Uber_Canada @CityOfVictoria @HarbourAirLtd #yyj

So exciting to finally launch rideshare in Victoria, Chilliwack, and Kelowna today! What a team effort. Thank you to everyone, especially the hospitality and tourism industries, who have been advocating for this through the years.

[Uber Canada @Uber_Canada]

Today we are expanding rideshare in British Columbia to Victoria, Kelowna, and Chilliwack, offering residents and visitors a safe, affordable, and reliable transportation option at the touch of a button. https://t.co/hT2lmuZs39
