Walking Directions from Aurora GO Station to Ashario

The walk from Aurora GO Station to Ashario Cannabis takes about 20 minutes (1.6 km) along well-lit, sidewalk-equipped streets. Exit the GO platform onto Wellington Street East, walk west to Yonge Street, then turn north. Ashario is on the east side of Yonge near Centre Street.

Here's the step-by-step:

1. Exit the GO station at the main entrance onto Wellington Street East.
2. Head west on Wellington Street East for roughly 1.1 km. You'll pass Industrial Parkway and cross Berczy Street. Stay on the north sidewalk for a quieter walk.
3. Reach the Yonge & Wellington intersection: this is downtown Aurora's main corner. There's a Tim Hortons and a few cafes if you need to warm up.
4. Turn right (north) on Yonge Street and walk about 450 metres past Mosley Street and Centre Street.
5. Arrive at 15114 Yonge Street, on your right. Look for the Ashario Cannabis storefront signage.

In winter, the Wellington sidewalks are cleared by the Town of Aurora and the route stays passable. In summer, the walk passes Town Park if you cut north via Larmont. It's a slightly longer but greener alternative. Either way, you'll find the full Ashario Cannabis experience waiting at the other end.

Aurora Cannabis Rules: What Commuters Should Know

Cannabis is legal in Ontario for adults 19+, regulated by the AGCO and the federal Cannabis Act through Health Canada. You can purchase up to 30 grams of dried cannabis (or equivalent) per visit, and you must show valid government-issued photo ID at the door, no exceptions.

A few rules specific to GO commuters:

• You cannot consume cannabis on GO trains, GO buses, or station property. Metrolinx enforces this strictly with fines.
• Transport unopened, sealed product in your bag during your ride home. Don't open the package on the platform.
• Public consumption in Aurora follows provincial Smoke-Free Ontario Act rules: no smoking or vaping cannabis within 20 metres of playgrounds, schools, or sports fields, and not on restaurant patios.
• Driving with open cannabis in the passenger area of a vehicle is illegal under the Highway Traffic Act. Keep it in the trunk or sealed in original packaging.

Updated 2026 figures show Ontario has over 1,800 licensed retail stores province-wide.

Tips from Our Aurora Budtenders for GO Commuters

Our Aurora budtenders see hundreds of GO-line regulars each week, and the same questions come up. The store is busiest weekdays 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM as commuters disembark, and quietest mid-morning weekdays. Plan accordingly if you want a longer chat.

What we recommend:

• Pre-order online for in-store pickup: saves about 8 minutes during peak hours.
• Bring a bag: Ontario requires retailers to charge for bags, and Aurora has adopted the bring-your-own policy widely.
• Ask about terpene profiles, not just THC %. A 22% THC limonene-dominant sativa hits very differently than a 22% THC myrcene-heavy indica.
• Try low-dose first if you're new: 2.5mg edibles or 0.35g pre-rolls are forgiving formats.
• Sign up at the counter for new drop notifications so you know what's landing before your next train ride.

If you're new to cannabis altogether, the team will walk you through formats, dosing, and onset times. We've trained for this: every budtender at Ashario Cannabis completes AGCO CannSell certification.
