A one-year pilot program being launched by the Town of Innisfil is bringing a new transit hub to Royal Canadian Legion Branch 547.
Legion 547 will join the existing 11 transit hubs across Innisfil, Ont. as part of this pilot program which is part of a larger effort to make public transit more accessible to Innisfil residents.
“We’re so pleased to add the Innisfil Legion to our list of transit hubs,” says Innisfil Mayor Lynn Dollin. “As the only transit hub in Belle Ewart, we hope that this action will not only provide a much-needed service to our veterans but also improve connectivity within and across our town.”
