CCS has car for volunteer drivers to try out

By Bill Rea
Transportation is a major concern for many in town, and Caledon Community Services (CCS) has been trying to address it.
The agency received a big boost this week, as it took possession of a Ford Fusion Hybrid from Fines Ford Lincoln in Bolton. CCS Chief Executive Officer Monty Laskin said funding for the vehicle came from the Central West Local Health Integration Network (LHIN), and Bob Fines produced the right car.
“Bob made it happen,” he said.
CCS operates a transportation program but it largely depends on volunteer drivers. The problem is these volunteers use their own vehicles, and the wear and tear on them mounts up. The program depends on these people, as Laskin said they provided more than 170,000 kilometres last year.
This new car will enable volunteers to continue driving without having to worry about the toll it takes on their own vehicles.
“Our transportation program continues to be a benefit to hundreds of people in Caledon,” he said.
“We're going to keep this vehicle in tip-top shape,” he added.

Fines Ford Lincoln proprietor Bob Fines presents the keys to the Ford Fusion Hybrid to CCS Volunteer Specialist Brigitte Malo and Manager of Transportation Programs Fay Davy.
