Eskasoni — The Eskasoni Transit Service is building five new bus shelters with an investment of $95,775 from the federal government.
The Eskasoni Transit Service aims to improve the quality of life for all residents of Eskasoni through their accessible transportation service that connects community members with other communities in Cape Breton.
“The federal government is proud to support the Eskasoni Transit Service, a Mi’kmaq operated transit system that provides an atmosphere where users can feel comfortable and at home while on the road surrounded by Mi’kmaq language and culture. These new bus shelters will protect community members from the elements, improving the overall experience for those who rely on this essential service.” Jaime Battiste, Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Crown-Indigenous Relations and Member of Parliament for Sydney–Victoria, on behalf of Sean Fraser, Minister of Housing, Infrastructure and Communities
