A Gift for Greener, more Accessible Senior Mobility
As part of British Columbia’s larger push toward sustainable transportation, PICS Assisted Living Facility
is excited to announce the arrival of its new electric bus, generously funded by the Ministry of Health
and Fraser Health. This green initiative, initially promised in December 2023, has now officially arrived at
the facility.
With support from both the provincial and Canadian governments, British Columbia has been
accelerating the electrification of transit options for seniors, aiming to enhance their accessibility while
reducing environmental impact. The addition of the electric bus at PICS will significantly improve the
quality of life for our senior residents, enabling them to partake in outings and engage more deeply with
the local community.
“This generous gift will significantly enhance the mobility of our beloved seniors. With this electric bus,
residents will have greater opportunities for community engagement and social participation, allowing
them to enjoy outings and activities that enrich their lives,” said Satbir S. Cheema, President & CEO of
PICS Society.
PICS Society is grateful to Premier David Eby and Former BC Minister of Health, Adrian Dix for their
continuous support.
PICS Administrator, Inderjeet Hundal, remarked, “We are thrilled to welcome this electric bus into our
facility. Not only does it provide our seniors with increased mobility, but it also represents a step toward
a greener future for our community.”
