Chapleau Council Eyes Changes for Transit, But Not Yet

Changes appear to be on the way for Chapleau's specialized transit bus service - but one appears to have stalled.

Chapleau Town Council discussed two aspects of the service in this week's meeting, including the replacement of what Mayor Michael Levesque describes as the "old, unreliable" bus the Township currently owns, though he says that's hit a speed bump.

Council similarly put operation of the transit service out to tender, but Mayor Levesque believes the Township will be going a different route.

While the current contract's expired - extended month-by-month amid the COVID-19 pandemic - Mayor Levesque is unsure when the Township would be looking to take over the transit operation, saying only it will happen "in time".
