SPCO – Transportation Assistance to Seniors

Transportation Assistance Service

1) Shared Taxi service to and from the venue of the event, provided to a limited number of Deshantari seniors with mobility issues during Saraswati Puja celebration events at the  Tom Brown Arena, 141 Bayview Rd, Ottawa, ON K1Y 4M3.

SPCO funds to use

– These seniors are long standing members of Deshantari, who have mobility issues that prevent them from driving or taking OCTranspo,

-Without this assistance it would be impossible for them to attend these key religious and cultural events.

-Response from the seniors assisted was extremely positive.
