My name is Roseanna Vachon and I have been advocating on behalf of adults with intellectual disabilities. I understand that you have been made aware of the Trillium Lakelands District School Board’s (TLDSB) decision to cease bus transportation for our adults. My daughter, Brandy, has used the bus, post
secondary for over 15 years. She is one of seven affected individuals. For many years, I personally made these arrangements directly with TLDSB’s Transportation
Department for this yearly service.
