Operations are confined to the provinces of Quebec and Ontario, providing services in the main centres such as Toronto, Montreal, Kingston, Whitby and Niagara Falls. The division is mainly a mix of scheduled services and charter operations, with the addition of some transit, school bus and sightseeing tour operations.[1] Coach Canada was included in the April 2019 disposal by Stagecoach of its North American operations to Variant Equity Advisors.[2][3][4][5]
