It’s Our Birthday and We’ll Self-Promote If We Want To!

Happy 4th birthday to us!

Birthdays are a time to reflect on the past, to see how far one’s come, and to plan out the next 365 days ahead. And boy, what a whirlwind of a year we’ve had at Honk! We could not be more proud. So many accomplishments over these past 12 months: from new hires, city and campus launches, feature updates, and partnerships to awards, it’s been one hell of a ride!

Four years ago Honk was all but a dream. We wanted to make parking in Canada better – give it a digital makeover. Take out the hassle, and get drivers on their way faster and more efficiently. Fast forward 4 years, and look at us now! We’re quite literally coast to coast across Canada with hundreds of thousands of happy honkers using us – relying on us – for their parking.

Here’s a list of some of our proudest moments from the past year:

Launches:

  • City of London
  • Off-street parking with EasyPark in the City of Vancouver
  • Campus parking at University of Alberta
  • Boat parking: Gananoque, Port Perry, McNab/Braeside
  • City of Oakville
  • City of Waterloo

Partnerships & Awards:

  • Ranked #6 on Canada’s Top Growth Companies
  • Huge collaboration with Masterpass
  • Zipcar partnership
  • Toronto Community Housing Partnership offering excess monthly spots at a discount

We’re blowing out these cyber candles, and then rolling up our sleeves to get back to work to make Honk even better, faster, smarter and cheaper!
