A new Youth and Elder Shuttle Service launched in Watson Lake, Yukon, on March 17, 2026, to help residents get around town. The program provides transportation to community events, essential services, and local resources.
The shuttle operates during daytime hours to better serve residents. According to the Watson Lake Sunshine group, the service is designed for younger people and seniors who need help reaching different spots in the community.
This local ride service is different from regional businesses like Watson Lake Shuttle and Freight Ltd., which focus on travel between towns and delivery services. The new shuttle stays within the community to help people with their daily needs.
The organizers hope the new service will make it easier for residents to stay active and connected. It focuses on helping those who might not have their own car or other ways to get to important appointments and events.
