A local nonprofit that’s supporting accessible and inclusive transportation, is launching the Carefree Service.
It’s a fully accessible and inclusive sightseeing and activities tour service designed for people of all ages and abilities.
Starting next month, the new service will operate two to three pre-scheduled trips per week, offering scenic, educational, and culturally rich tours of Prince George and area amenities, venues and events.
The initiative reflects the organization’s commitment to providing equal opportunities for exploration and connection to those often excluded from traditional tourism experiences — including seniors / elders, people with disabilities, families with young children, and more.
“This is more than just a tour. It’s a movement toward community belonging and dignity,” said Christos Vardacostas, Executive Director of Carefree Society.
“We believe everyone deserves to experience the beauty, history, and joy of our beautiful city and region — without limits.”
Tour Features Include:
- Wheelchair-accessible vehicles and boarding
- Friendly direct support and facilitation of rider requirements
- Allows rider accompaniment
- Subsidized or free seats for low-income riders
- Destinations people want to get to
“Tours are something that have been greatly needed in Prince George, so it’s exciting to see Carefree Society taking the lead,” said Carmen Herman, Interim CEO, Tourism Prince George.
“By making these tours accessible and community-based, they’re ensuring that everyone can explore our community together.”
A free launch celebration and demo ride is taking place on Wednesday, November 5th, at 10:30am, at 2832 Queensway Street.
