Lunenburg Country residents will be able to travel easier.
Community Transportation VON Lunenburg is launching on Nov 1st, and will combine a former Mahone Bay Centre Program, South Shore Helping Hands, with On the Move, the current transportation service of VON Lunenburg.
Communications Programs Coordinator Elisabeth Bailey says it’s a vital program for people who live in rural areas.
“Like any rural area, getting around can be an issue and if you can’t drive yourself you get stuck,” she said.
“And VON values independence for seniors and people living in their own home.”
It will be available to residents on weekdays between Lunenburg, Bridgwater, Mahone Bay and surrounding areas.
Transport is offered free of charge, but donations will be accepted.
Those interested are asked to call the VON office to book their ride at least a week in advance .
