The city is one step closer to getting a new handi-van and transit bus.

City council voted unanimously to allow administration to enter into a contribution agreement with the provincial government.

This will allow the city to have access to just over $71,000.00, which will be put towards the purchase of a new handi-van and transit bus.

The transit bus, which will cost around $400,000.00, will be a part of the 2018 financial plan.

The cost of the two vehicles will be offset by $157,000.00 in federal funding.
