A fun, new monthly contest will be starting on the 15th. Be sure to participate for a chance to win a $25 lunch from Village Treats in Lanark. See the blog on the website for more details.
HIGHLANDS NORTH NETWORK
Transportation Services
Our township is a large one and getting from here to there can be challenging and expensive, especially for those most vulnerable. We want to make sure that every one who would like to take part in the activities and events offered can get to them. The HNN is committed to doing our best to make sure that no one is left out.
The possible options for the 2024/2025 year include:
-
Setting up rides through Lanark Transportation when needed
-
Checking to see if there is a carpool coming by your house en route to the same activity
-
Offering 55+ full-day or half day coach bus trips during the year (Priority will be for those living (full-time or seasonally) in the northern Lanark Highlands and those who host activities in our supported venues.)
Any costs to use the transportation services will be covered with funding from the Government of Ontario through the Seniors Active Living Centre Program.
In the future, we hope to add a more official, volunteer driver component to our transportation services whereby those already going to activities and events could pick up others along the way and be reimbursed for vehicle expenses.
