ATTN: All Seniors in the County of Wheatland and Town of Strathmore
Wheatland Seniors Transportation offers shopping trips on a scheduled basis approximately every 3 weeks. The shopping trips are done on a rotating visit to the malls in Calgary.
All Seniors (Men and Women) from the Town of Strathmore and the County of Wheatland can have access to this service. If you have a care giver they will be able to accompany you.
We also allow younger Senior’s 55+ to ride on the bus but Seniors 65+ are given preference. The bus seats 47 people so if the seats are not filled we will try to accommodate everyone that would like to ride.
This service has been in operation since the 1980s and has run on grants, donations and the fee to ride the bus. The cost is $20 per person return trip. The bus leaves Strathmore at 9 a.m. and leaves Calgary at 3 p.m. Each person is responsible for their own transportation to and from the bus. You are allowed to wait in the lobby of the Centre until your ride arrives to pick you up. You need to call earlier to reserve a seat each time you are riding the bus. Should you have to cancel your spot for any reason there is no penalty but a courtesy call or message with someone else should be made so the bus is not held up waiting for you.
This is a great way to meet family or friends in Calgary for lunch or schedule doctor appointments.
Hope to see you on the bus!
