Per BlackBerry: At BlackBerry, we’re proud of our history as a Canadian company and global innovator. The Civic holiday this weekend gives Canadians an opportunity to celebrate the history and heritage of their communities and their country.
The holiday also gives many Canadians an extra day off and who doesn’t love long summer weekends? That extra day could mean meeting friends for a coffee, catching a movie with the kids, or hosting a big meal for friends and family – the possibilities are nearly endless. To help make the most of your time off, try a host of our uniquely Canadian applications in the BlackBerry World store:
TimmyMe – If you plan to travel on the long weekend, the TimmyMe app is essential. With one click, you can find the 10 nearest Tim Horton’s locations through your phone’s GPS. The Restaurant Finder lets you see details such as whether a particular location has a drive-thru or in-restaurant seating. Customers can also check the balance on their Tim’s card.http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/13389/
Cineplex – The Cineplex app gives BlackBerry users showtimes for every Cineplex theatre across the country. You can also purchase tickets through the application with no additional service fees and check your SCENE card points balance. You can also access entertainment news and trailers through the app.http://appworld.blackberry.com/webstore/content/18386/?countrycode=CA
