A senior’s advocate in Williams Lake says the city isn’t moving quickly enough to bring back wheelchair accessible taxi service.
Audrey Maclise is Chair of the Seniors Advisory Council of Williams Lake & Area.
“people here at the Senior’s Activity Centre are dismayed that we can’t get this program going. And you know we’ve been talking about it now for three years and they see so many benefits.”
Maclise claims that since most events take place on weekends or in the evening, the recent extension of handy dart hours still isn’t enough.
She also had this to say: “I don’t think Williams Lake would like to be known as the only city in North America that takes better care of their dogs than their seniors.”
The issue of handicap taxi service was raised at this week’s council meeting where they decided to initiate dialogue with Town Taxi to encourage them to purchase a wheelchair accessible taxi in a timely fashion.
