How it works
01
Dial 306-650-7333. If no one answers, leave your name, number, and a short message. Dispatch calls back by the next morning to discuss booking your trip.
02
When you book clinic appointments, aim for late morning or early afternoon. We arrange the driver, the route, and door-to-door pickup in Gravelbourg and Assiniboia.
03
No parking, construction, or weather to worry about. Folding wheelchairs and walkers fit. After your appointment, call the driver and we bring you home.
Destinations
As a registered charity we cannot charge a fare. A suggested donation helps cover fuel. If you can’t pay the suggested donation, call us anyway and we will work with you to find a way to help you if we can.

They are a very good organization and really very kind and helpful people. I would rate them 10 out of 10.

Pilot vehicle in use, slow going, expect delays. Keep the workers — and each other — safe this construction season.
