Red Deer MLAs want to keep Greyhound wheels rolling
Red Deer’s NDP MLAs say they are lending their full support to Premier Rachel Notley as the powers that be search for a solution to the impending closure of Greyhound.
Greyhound announced this month they will cease passenger service in western Canadian communities, as well as Ontario.
Red Deer – North MLA Kim Schreiner says Greyhound service is essential to many Albertans who use it for work, medical appointments or to see loved ones.
“I’m absolutely hearing what they are saying and taking that to Transportation Minister Brian Mason, as well as our premier,” she says. “They’ve reached out to the federal government to maybe have this postponed for six months and maybe have a task force to figure out what we’re going to do when Greyhound closes its doors for good.”
