Aging in Motion

Our Aging in Motion helps older adults in Lake Country stay connected to the people, services, and activities that support their health and well-being. Through affordable, volunteer-supported rides, seniors can get to medical appointments, grocery stores, and social activities with greater ease and independence. The program supports residents aged 65+ who may face barriers using traditional transportation due to income, mobility, or health challenges.

How this service works

Complete an Intake Form. Before using the service, clients complete a short intake form with contact information and basic health details. Once this is done, you are registered in the program. Contact seniors@lakecountryhealth.ca or call 778-215-5247 ext. 2 to request an intake.
Purchase Ride Voucher. After enrolling, you can purchase ride vouchers in advance. One voucher is required for each ride. Vouchers do not expire and are non-refundable. At the end of each ride, you give the voucher to your volunteer driver so they can claim their stipend.
Request Your Ride. Contact Lake Country Health to book your ride. Please request rides at least three business days in advance so we can arrange a volunteer driver.
