Mobility is about more than getting from Point A to Point B. It is about dignity, freedom, and being in
control of your lifestyle. With Drive Happiness, seniors are able to keep their independence and remain
active and engaged in their community. St. Aidan’s Society has partnered with Drive Happiness and WB

in maintaining a more independent lifestyle. Based in Edmonton, Drive Happiness has been providing its’
services to the Capital Region for more than 20 years. With recent successful expansions to Lethbridge,

How it works
Volunteer drivers take senior riders to various appointments such as medical, shopping, banking,
programming or even visits to others. The volunteer remains with the senior, if desired, and
provides assistance as required. The senior requiring the ride purchases their ride ticket from
Drive Happiness for $10. Each ticket entitles the rider to ninety minutes of time and up to 40
km driving distance.
