TRANSPORTATION SERVICES
Friendly Neighbour will ensure your loved ones are staying connected to their community through regular trips to their local shops, the community centre or just going for a stroll around the block.
​It is our pleasure to escort our seniors to help with shopping, errands and to visit friends and family. Ride services for seniors are not always readily available and we want to ensure your life is as stress-free as possible. Often, it can be a challenge to navigate local public transportation and it often isn't a safe option for many seniors. Let us provide safe, secure transportation instead.

Not only are we available to take the senior to an event or destination, but we can accompany them during the event as well if a family member is unavailable.
