    Transit and Transportation Updates following the announcement of Ace Cabs closure

    Date:

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

    Collingwood, ON [15 August 2024] – The Town of Collingwood is aware of how
    important it is for residents, workers, and visitors to get around the community.


    Following the announcement by Ace Cabs today of their pending closure effective
    September 30, the Town would like to recognize the ongoing partnership with Ace Cabs
    for accessible transit and thank them for serving the community for the past 80 years.


    The Town would like to assure the community that public transportation is readily
    available to service your transportation needs through Colltrans providing three transit
    routes in Town (East, West, and Crosstown), the Blue Mountain Link Bus (BLINK) and
    Simcoe County LINX Transit. To learn more about public transit options visit:
    https://www.collingwood.ca/public-transit


    The Town will follow up on ACE Transportation’s commitment to offer our residents the
    Accessible Taxi shuttle for the rest of their contract, expiring March 31, 2025. The Town
    currently offers accessible transit through our TransitPLUS service available for booked
    rides seven days a week. The Town will look at options related to meeting the needs for
    accessible community transportation in Collingwood over the coming months.


    In the 2024 Municipal Budget, Council approved a new position, Community
    Transportation Coordinator to provide leadership for Collingwood’s public transportation
    system, including accessible transit and the continuation of the on-demand transit
    program.


    The Town has recently hired Sandy Falcon, who joins the Collingwood team from the
    Canadian Red Cross, North Simcoe Muskoka, where she was involved with many
    community initiatives, including providing the oversight and management of the Red
    Cross’s accessible transit program, fleet, and members. Sandy is excited to step into
    the newly Council-approved role where she can make a difference within the community
    improving transportation needs and community engagement.

    VIDEO: 張哲瀚Zhang Zhehan 紀錄片《八月》

    《八月》是中國演員張哲瀚首次擔任導演的紀錄片,2024年4月14日上線。 該片記錄了張哲瀚在2021年8月突遇網路風暴,演藝人生頃刻被顛倒後的一次自我療愈之旅。 當舞臺與燈光不再,當事業與生活被網路上的不實資訊和惡意扭曲震碎,張哲瀚選擇在兩年後的8月,以自己熱愛的方式向著真實的世界重新出發。從香格里拉到拉薩的騎行之路上,他遇見雪山和冰川,遇見草木牛羊,遇見許多個普通而動人的面孔;他傾聽天地之聲,傾聽陌生人的故事,也傾聽內心的痛和愛。 曾經的8月還未終結,以後的8月依然會來。而這一個《八月》意義非常。 #zhangzhehan_super3 #張哲瀚 #張哲瀚八月 #紀錄片八月 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gLwMG6XoJ34&t=11s
