Feds Fund Sipekne'katik First Nation Transit

Housing, Infrastructure and Communities Canada

Sipekne'katik First Nation now has a rural transportation solution for their members following an investment of more than $450,000 from the federal government.

The funding supported the purchase of two buses and three vans. The informal transit system, free for all members of the community, is meeting their diverse needs by taking residents to cultural and community events, field trips, and more.

Public transit options should be available to all Canadians, no matter where they live. The Government of Canada is growing our country's economy and improving the lives of Canadians through investments in rural public transit.
