Northern Health Connections continues to make safety our number one priority :) Recently, we installed plexiglass partitions between the seats in each of our coaches. Individuals travelling will be asked to take an assigned window seat, and leave the seat beside them empty for maximum physical distancing. Thank you and safe travels!

****UPDATE**** Northern Health continues to take a cautious approach to resuming services. That includes the Northern Health Connections bus service for people requiring medical support outside of their community. As part of our continued work to increase capacity on our buses while maintaining the health and safety of our passengers and drivers, we are now going to require masks on all routes. This will enable us to utilize all rows on the bus, allowing one passenger per two... seats. Maximum capacity will be 19 individuals. Exceptions will be made, as required, for companions who must ride next to the person they are supporting. PLEASE NOTE: Passenger eligibility for travellers 60+ will continue to be suspended to accommodate health care travellers while seating is limited. We are hopeful over the coming weeks to make additional changes and will provide updates accordingly. REMINDER: All bookings must be done through the call centre at 1-888-647-4997 and all bookings must be done 48 hours in advance. Seats will be assigned and you will be asked screening questions. If you are showing symptoms you may not be eligible to travel.
