Two Miles for Mary ‘a lifeline’ for seniors
Completing mundane trips to the doctor’s office are simple for many, but for seniors without transportation, this can be a major task.
Helping to alleviate this is a unique service in Prince Albert known as Seniors’ Transportation. The service operates a number of cars to help seniors get to their to destinations and is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year.
The program is a lifeline of independence for many seniors, according to Eleanor George.
“Those of us that use it would be in dire straights [without it],” George said. She’s used the service for many years and in 2015 was chosen as a ‘Mary’ or spokesperson for the organization’s fundraiser, Two Miles for Mary.
