DriveSafe’s Extension Initiative

KAHNAWAKE SERVICE

As part of our outreach to marginalized communities initiatives, we are also extending regular service to the Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake! This will become part of our boundary, thus Island of Montreal + Kahnawake. Treat all calls to Kahnawake as regular calls on all days.
