Accessible transportation
Dear Valued Client,
It is with deep regret that we must inform you that the Sudbury-East Accessible Transportation program will no longer be available after March 31st, 2025. While this is not the outcome we had hoped for, Sudbury-East Senior Support remains committed to finding an alternate solution to provide accessible and timely access to medical appointments for residents residing in Sudbury-East. In the meantime, transportation for medical appointments through the volunteer transportation service currently offered by Sudbury-East Senior Support may be available for residents over the age of 65. Thank you for your support over these past few years. It has been a great pleasure to assist you with your transportation needs.
Sincerely,
The Sudbury-East Accessible Transportation Executive Committee
Monica Loftus, Executive Committee Member for the Municipality of St.-Charles

Supportive housing and aging at home programs are designed to provide personal support and homemaking to the elderly who require services on a routine basis and have access to a 24 hour on-call emergency response service. Arrangements are coordinated by the staff of Sudbury-East Seniors Support.
