🚗 A Successful Week of CarFit in Our Community!

Last week, we held three successful CarFit Clinics in Greely, Manotick and Richmond, and we couldn’t be happier with the fantastic turnouts at each location! 💙

A huge thank you to everyone who took the time to participate. We loved seeing so many members of our community taking steps to make sure they are comfortable, confident and properly fitted in their vehicles.

We were also thrilled to have the opportunity for our ROSSS staff and volunteer drivers to take part, getting properly fitted in both their personal vehicles and our ROSSS vans. 🚐

CarFit was made possible through a wonderful partnership with the Council on Aging of Ottawa, and we are incredibly grateful for this opportunity and their support in bringing this program to our community.
