Access to transportation is about more than getting from one place to another. It’s about dignity, opportunity, and feeling connected to your community.

We’re proud to see the impact of the Clean Mobility Project, delivered in partnership with Create Climate Equity, Kambo Energy Group, the Aboriginal Housing Management Association (AHMA), Modo, BC Hydro, and Natural Resources Canada.

The program was recently featured in the Penticton Herald, highlighting how community-driven, culturally safe transportation solutions are improving the lives of Indigenous residents in Vancouver.

Through this pilot, residents at one of our communities have access to free transit, a shared electric vehicle, community workshops, and ongoing support, all designed to remove barriers to mobility while reducing emissions.

The results speak for themselves:
🚌 Over 4,000 public transit trips taken by participating residents.
🚗 More than 150 shared EV trips since the vehicle launched in April.
❤️ Most importantly, residents are experiencing greater independence, confidence, and connection to their community.

As one resident shared:

“I don’t have to sneak on the bus. It’s helped me to be able to feel okay.”

Stories like these remind us that when we invest in culturally safe, community-driven solutions, we create lasting change.

Thank you to all of our partners and especially to our residents, whose voices continue to shape this important work.

Today, on Métis Nation Day, we celebrate the rich history, vibrant culture, and enduring spirit of the Métis Nation.

Métis people have a distinct identity, with their own traditions, language, governance, and deep connections to community and the land. Their history is one of resilience, leadership, and self-determination, from the Red River Resistance to the continued advancement of Métis rights and recognition today.

As we mark this day, we honour the many contributions of Métis people and recognize their vital role in shaping communities across Turtle Island. May today also inspire us to continue learning, listening, and supporting truth, reconciliation, and respect for the distinct rights and identity of the Métis Nation.

Happy Métis Nation Day. 💙

Today, our hearts are with the people of Pemberton as they face the ongoing Signal Hill wildfire.

We are thinking of every family forced to evacuate, every firefighter and emergency responder working tirelessly on the front lines, and every community member supporting one another through this difficult time.

As wildfires continue to impact communities across Turtle Island, we are reminded of the strength, resilience, and compassion that emerge in times of crisis. From those protecting homes and forests to the neighbours lending a helping hand, these moments show the power of community.

We also recognize the deep connection that Indigenous Peoples have with the land. As these fires affect forests, wildlife, and traditional territories, our thoughts are with the Nations and communities whose homelands continue to be impacted.

To everyone in Pemberton and to all those affected by wildfires across Turtle Island: you are not alone. We are holding you in our thoughts and hoping for the safety of residents, first responders, and all those working to bring these fires under control.

Please stay safe, follow local emergency guidance, and take care of one another. ❤️

Reliable transportation opens doors to opportunity, connection, and wellbeing.

We’re proud to be partnering with Create Climate Equity, Kambo Energy Group, the Aboriginal Housing Management Association , Modo Carshare Co-op and CA Natural Resources Agency on the Clean Mobility Project, an innovative initiative bringing sustainable transportation options directly to Indigenous housing communities.

Through educational workshops, free transit passes, ride-and-drive events, and access to a shared electric vehicle, our residents are discovering new ways to connect with family, employment, healthcare, and community while reducing transportation barriers.

Since the installation of our EV charger earlier this year, residents have already completed more than 130 trips, including journeys to reconnect with loved ones, demonstrating the real impact accessible transportation can have on everyday life.

As our CEO Brenda Knights shared, reliable and affordable transportation is closely linked to health, wellbeing, and opportunity. We’re honoured to be part of a project that ensures the transition to clean mobility is inclusive, community-led, and accessible for everyone.

Thank you to all of our partners for helping build stronger, more connected Indigenous communities.
