The Northern Health Connections program will run on a modified schedule starting December 20, leading up to an annual holiday and maintenance break that takes place each year at this time.
NH Connections provides transportation for clients travelling to non-emergent health services outside their home communities. A variety of routes connect communities across Northern BC along with service to Vancouver. Demand for the service typically drops over the holiday season as fewer people book health care appointments.
Starting December 20, NH Connections buses will begin their last routes for 2022. Regular routes will resume the week of January 2, 2023.
