What If Your Next Test Drive Did More Than Put You Behind the Wheel?

What If Your Next Test Drive Did More Than Put You Behind the Wheel?

Most people think of a test drive as a quick spin around the block. A chance to feel the steering, check out the features, and maybe see if the vehicle feels right.

But what if it could be something more than that?

What if, in just a few minutes, your test drive could help a child get into sports for the very first time?

That’s exactly what’s happening on May 9th with Bannister Ford!

Drive Your Community

We’re excited to be partnering with the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Program for Fords Drive Your Community Event, a day built around one simple idea: small actions can create real impact. Jumpstart helps local kids overcome financial barriers so they can participate in sports and stay active. And on this day, every single test drive helps support that mission.

From 9AM to 4PM at the Canadian Tire parking lot, we’re inviting the community to come out, take a vehicle for a drive, and be part of something bigger.

There’s no pressure. No strings attached. No obligation to buy anything. Just show up, get behind the wheel, and take a drive! For every test drive completed, Ford donates $30 to Jumpstart. That means every drive directly supports local kids and helps open doors to sports programs that build confidence, teamwork, and lifelong skills.

Why this hits close to home

For a lot of families, sports aren’t just about fun; they’re about opportunity. They’re where kids learn how to work with others, push themselves, and build confidence that carries far beyond the game. But the cost of equipment, registration, and travel can be a real barrier. Jumpstart helps remove that barrier. And on May 9th, so can you. One test drive might feel small in the moment, but together, those moments turn into something meaningful.
