The Honourable John G. Abbott, Minister of Children, Seniors and Social Development announced a call for applications for the 2023-24 Newfoundland and Labrador Community Transportation Program.
Incorporated municipalities, not-for-profit groups and Indigenous Governments and communities are eligible to apply for up to $100,000 to develop, implement and evaluate accessible and inclusive community-based transportation programs.
